Weather has improved the last week, and dragged the end of month projection to 100%, but largely thanks to the better afternoons - ESE 97%, WNW 106%.
The next week has a lot of grey and rain, but as QrizB mentioned, I've noticed the actual weather is typically a bit better than what is forecast.Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.
For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.5 -
5.43 O's for yesterday coupled with 1.82 O's for wind so a good day on both counts.
HIgh pressure looming over the UK for the next few days so wind outlook not looking good but, could benefit from higher PV output. Maybe that elusive Maiden will make an appearance sometime soon!
