Looked to be a cracking day that would be best day of the year. On track till 10:15 then it was up and down like a Rollercoaster till 13:45
Ended the day as 2nd best day of Month and Year!

4 days to get 7 kWh to be Best January.
Just had a look at PVGIS and pretended to move my house onto the south coast with the same longitude and my yearly total goes up by 750 kWh per year!
Now I understand the phrase Its Grim Up North!
