    1.1 'O's

    Forecast for coming week is a messy mix of everything. Even some snow Sunday night. Oh well.

    Mart.

    Mart, what have you started again here? I also remember that you were the one to suggest to me that we travel on a train from wherever, connecting extention cables (out of a window) as we travelled, to try and 'tap in to higher generation', in another part of the country. I dread to think what you are going to think of next....smiley-laughing021.gif

    0.56 O's Sat.
    0.40 O's Today. :mad:

    Are you sure that 4.38 was not meant to be 0.438?? :D

    Can I start a campaign..

    Every month we are below PVGIS Climate, we get paid the difference in our FiT payments?

    Of course if we are above, then we don't need extra :whistle:

    0.9 bananas today :o

    Another foggy day today (7th)- though slightly brighter than yesterday.

    3.65 kWh (or 0.91 'O' )

    I've just joined the 'Optiplug club'. It arrived today - all I want now is a day that's sunny enough to have a spare 750w so that I can calibrate my site transformer & immersion heater circuit !

    Nothing very much to report lately.

    0.6 kWh Friday
    1.4 kWh Sat
    1.75 kWh today (Sun)

    Never mind "Oranges" - I haven't even managed a small tangerine :mad:

    All Oscar's fault of course : as the postman drove off having delivered my 'Optiplug' the sky clouded over and we've not seen the sun since (apart from a brief spell at lunchtime today when panels had a thin film of snow). I should perhaps (for once) congratulate our weather forecasters who did at least warn there'd be no sunshine on any of those days (but todays sunny interval will have surprised them).

    On the bright (sorry about the pun :D) side, I've collected a tonne and a half of water since I reported that my stocks were getting rather low.

    Way ahead of you Oscar:- Simple question, do you hate it when your head gets cold because your hat blew away? Well, now there is a solution with:

    'Cat Hats - Not hats for cats, but cats as hats'

    Simply attach the small elasticated chin strap, switch on the electric current, and you'll never have to worry again.

    [warning, may cause excessive blood loss, tear blindness, and prosecution by the RSPCA. If symptons persist consult a doctor (or a vet)]


    Dragons Den here I come.

    Only got 0.25 'O's so my mind started to wander.

    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.
