  • After a great first 2 thirds of August this last week has been way below expectations. 
    Looks like I'll surpass the PVGIS prediction in the next few days so that's good.

    I've still not emptied the battery completely, 14% is the lowest I've seen, that was after holding steadily throughout a rainy dull day with little production.

    1.02 O's is the lowestvive had so far.

    Matched PVGIS for August with 5 days to go and also exceeded 5 MWh since installation in February.
