Month end projection still slipping. Now at 75% and the weather forecast is pretty bad, unless you own part of a wind turbine.
Looks like it could be the worst Dec since 2015, the year when heavy grey skies led to insanely low gen in Nov(59%) and Dec (55%).Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.
