    Creeping along with nothing spectacular (7, 8, 10kWh for the 3 days including today) but overall its just about enough to keep me in sight of climate estimate - 3kWh below target at present. The problem is that the weather forecast doesn't look like offering any favours to keep me up around the 8's (2 O's) I need per day to hit target.

    1.08 O's today; not too proud to post a correct kWp figure...
    0.18 O's higher than Investor..:D smiley-laughing025.gif No comment on Weston Dave...smiley-laughing021.gif

    Hi

    Slightly embarrassed here ..... had a couple of inches of snow on the panels all morning & clouds surrounding us all day, but still seemed to have enough blue sky overhead to finally get well over the daily target for March ... brings us up to around 2/3 of where we should be for the month ...

    Nice morning, getting brighter, turning into full sun by early afternoon. 2.56'O's (14.3kWh's).

    WNW system going like a train now, 5.3kWh's, previous highest this year was 4.1kWh's. Also generating a smidge till 6.05pm, roll on the clock change!
