    Thanks Tunnel,

    But I'm not of course dirtying any pots so don't need to run dishwasher when I get home. Nor are we switching any lights on at night, pumping any rainwater or running computer.

    Under these special circumstances, I don't really mind donating 90% of my generation to the nation but only being paid for 50%.

    Look on the bright side Eric; most of the nation is paying around £0.11p + any extra per kWh and your getting - £0.4846p per kWh Tax Free irrespective of usage ? :beer:

    Haven't posted results for a few days, largely below average. In fact April week 1 was 126kWh's and week 2 was only 62kWh's, wowza, what a come down.

    Week 3, nice start with 15.7 (2.81 O's) and 25.3 (4.53 O's).

    Messy day with clouds and spikes, monitors hit 4.9kW's a few times, with sustained periods of 4kW to 4.2kW between noon and 1pm.

    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.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.
