Depending on who calculates it, Winter Solstice is either today or tomorrow and hours of daylight per day are at their lowest. That figure will increase for 6 months to reach a max at Summer Solstice; then it will decline again for following 6 months so you can expect every day for next 11+ months to be better than today.NE Derbyshire.4kWp S Facing 17.5deg slope (dormer roof).24kWh of Pylontech batteries with Lux controller BEV : Hyundai Ioniq51 -

[In fact I redrafted it several times on the assumption that you'd try to find fault. I thought I'd gotten away with it too.
