Myself and Eric are nodding vigorously. Until late 2011 I could look at the forecast for the week ahead and enter estimates of generation for each day, then update at the end of each day. Usually pretty close. Now I can look at the forecast for tomorrow, and deduce - nothing!
Anyways, 25.3 yesterday, just 6.1 today. That'll be 1 and a bit O's Oscar.

4.5 O's today. Peaks of 4.9kW, and some semi-sustained periods of 4.2 to 4.6kW. Next couple of days look even better, but still a little down on April average.
