    1.70 O's yesterday, much to my surprise. A2A heaters used to put as much heat in the house as possible, but GCH started on Monday, but that seems quite late in the year.

    October projection is now 101%.
    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.
