    Actually saw the Sun for around 15 minutes just after 15:00, for all the good it did for production.

    0.42 x O today - lowest of the year so far! 

    Happy about 🐙Go - it’s working well for us so far. Just hoping 🙏🏻 that the bills reflect correct beta tariff usage during the cheaper time period
