Hi All

Well, February was a pretty bad month here too, strange thing is that, thanks to a decent couple of days at the end of the month, our total generation was within 200Wh of that experienced over the same period last year ...

Can you get your forecasters to look at Northants? Cloud most of the day... Sunny spells after 13.00 :mad:

As said, get an OptiPlug, it will switch off your Mower if you have not got the power to run it for free; then you can have a 'cuppa' from a pre made flask (having switched some things off before you boil the kettle to make up the flask) then, when spare energy is available on it goes again; just incase you exceed your exporting amount . C'mon get energy wise, sharp curve..:rotfl:

Only 9.2 kWh today.. I blame Shafeeq, put a jinks on Northants.... All said, Shafeeq your 3.213 kWp does not compete with my 3.68 kWp... think you forgot to post that bit of usefull information; you may have got 1/2 of a thanks from Mr. Mears..if you had....:rotfl:

Edit: As a suggestion; is it worth posting kWp as well as kWh as some contibutors do not declare their size of system?

I should fit an Optiplug to my husband's electric welding set, then I would see proper sparks flying!

And, if you set it on a low setting it would not work unless you were genarating sufficient power in order to use it... Are you getting energy wise? :rotfl:
