    Just back from the hospital with my son,been out nearly all day. We sat watching the snow fall all day while there,so was pleasantly surprised to find my ESE system had done 1.1kWh(actually expected 0 "O"s),just can't be a***d to go in the garage to check the other system.

    0.16 O's today. Oscargrouch beat that mate :T

    Your not far wrong there, I can see why you liked the kWh system. Are you sure that you are working it out right, or was Sheffield in Twilight all day ? I only did 1.48 O's today thanks to my recently found 'Tin Lid' reflecting some brightness following a good polish...from Tesco not Poland.... emoticon-anime-012.gif

    Managed another 2.1kWh from my ESE system,the snow coming down has been blowing straight off it(luckily). I even nipped into next doors garden and brushed the 8" of snow that had settled on the SSW system,but only managed 0.5kWh from that,wouldn't surprise me if its covered over again already as its not stopped here all flippin day.

    Not bad considering there have been "icebergs" sliding down the panels all day,
    piling up on the skirt of the crammed roof and then toppling onto pedestrians below.

    Only joking but there was an interesting wall of slush building up on the crazy paving.

    Fond memories of Glasgow where pedestrians walked in the road to avoid the starlings and Eastern Europe where they walked in the road to avoid being speared by icicles.

    Bet there's quite a few like yourself shafeeq,when i took my dog out this morning there was plenty of systems still snow covered(mostly all shade greener). So no generation for them and no profit for a few days,probably to a few peoples joy.

    A healthy 8.8kWh(2.2"O"s) for me today,still generating about 150Wh between both systems as i type so can't complain.

    Just hope the snow is all gone and we get lovely blue skies(i know oscar,i can dream) for 1st april when the increased FIT rate starts:D

    4th day of grey weather, and at least 2 more to come. Been generating around 2 to 3kWh's, or about 1/2 an 'O' each day.

    Heading for a record breaking month of approx 80% or less of target, beating the previous record of 82% (June 2012). Oh well, better Mch than June ....... :(

    Mart.
    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.
