    in the end, it was 3.8 O's today.
    If tomorrow's as good, we'll end the month 95% of PVGIS, and we'll just manage to be net exporters of electricity.

    I somehow just dropped into this this thread, not sure how/why?
    Anyway it seems to be mostly about "O's". (Yes I do know).
    So to lighten the mood here's some OOh's courtesy of Nellie (the Elephant):

    13kWh and 2.93 O's
    Output looks like a porcupine.

    I've been looking at the numbers and wondering whether we should have got a battery. Can't really work out how to match up the generation and import against each other. On a simple in/out it looks like we'd barely be importing at all even in this dismal month but I know it's not as simple as that.

    This is my worst March ever. My first March was 2015, and it gave me 282 kWh. My best March was 2020, with 294 kWh. This March comes in at 177 kWh.
