    After the panels cleared of snow around 10am generation picked up very nicely. Lovely sunny and bloody cold day.

    Not helped by having no heating or hot water due to our hot water tank being replaced. Still not fixed due to a leak developing when the heating system was turned back on. All I could see yesterday was the free generation not being used! :)

    4.1 O's

    Generation for the month is 25 kWh down on where it should but for the year so far the system is over 100 kWh ahead. Here's hoping the Sun returns quickly.

    A mixed day. Worked finally completed on new hot water tank. Heating system back on and Emersion back on just after the panels packed up for the day. So 2 days of free hot water lost.

    12.9 kWh for 3.58 O's today. Not quite as good as Tuesday, but straight into second place.

    Funnily enough, looking at the individual panel output, the SE side did a little better, than the SW due to the clouds rolling in mid afternoon, but I can see the one landscape panel near the bottom underperforming compared to everything else as it still has a bit of a snow drift in the gutter in front of it.

    At one point today the IHD was reporting 3.39kW of export, which was a new high, although I have to wonder how accurate it is, since there was at least a couple of hundred Watts of self consumption before that from the TV, washing machine, and boiler at that exact moment.
    The inverters generation peaked at 2.66kW, although I assume that averages out over a longer period.
    3.6 kW PV in the Midlands - 9x Sharp 400W black panels - 6x facing SE and 3x facing SW, Solaredge Optimisers and Inverter. 400W Derril Water (one day). Octopus Flux
