We keep having better weather than the Met Office forecast, which isn't doing my balance between overnight Go and solar PV any good!Today for example was forecast to be dull so I did laundry overnight. In the event it turned out to be quite a reasonable day and I could've run the wash during the daytime.10.75kWh, 3.95 O's

So far, today is even better and with Zappi, immersion, washing m/c, tumble dryer and storage batts all being served by pv, then I'm a happy chappy.Mind you, with May's output at only 70% of pvgis currently, it does rather owe us a bonus day or two!East coast, lat 51.97. 8.26kw SSE, 23° pitch + 0.59kw WSW vertical.
