11.99 kwh / 3.99 O's can't complain considering the weather we had today. .

4.64 O's today. Cloudy with intervals of sunshine....

I distinctly remember you stating that your ceramic filters were so effective that the water was drinkable, and that the only reason you didn't was because you wanted to keep the mains water moving. This implies you also used it for washing, so were you deterred by the Legionella outbreaks or am I confusing you with somebody else?

Suspect you were thinking of this thread where 'energysavingexpert' mentioned his ceramic filters in post #16 /

Almost a ground hog day for me...almost..4.625 O's(18.5kWh)

Managed to do 2 loads of washing(&drying) and mowed the lawn...just. I bought 1kWh today(ouch), dare say I didn't use all the 18kwh but hey, still showing a profit...that is what we all want ...isn't it?

19.75 kWh yesterday - and as usual nothing like the forecasters suggested !

Incidentally, I think I must be hallucinating

Metcheck assure me there's 87% cloud outside plus a bit of drizzle; BBC & Met Office agree it's "very cloudy". But I seem to be seeing bright sunshine and even my inverter has been fooled into thinking we've already generated 8.7kW

Dishwasher has just finished its load (during which alas we had a ten minute spell of importing @ 0.5 kW) and I'm about to start a load of washing.

Here's hoping my hallucination lasts the rest of the day :T

I seem to be stuck in the 4.??? O's. Managed 16.2kWh(4.05 O's),still generating around 100w.
Not complaining though, as Eric keeps saying,with the different forecasts we keep getting i'll happily take anything in double figures

That's now over 50kWhs in the past 3 days of rain?:rotfl:

Not quite I'm afraid - but it was still a £10+ day.

20.91 kWh (and still chucking out 100W) Again, that's just a little more than another well known N Derbys resident with same size panels.

As ever, you can no longer see the 'forecast' for the hours already gone but I'm pretty sure all three were telling me afternoon would be better than morning although reverse was what actually happened. :mad:

Tomorrow will (allegedly) be worse than today - so eagerly anticipating a lot of sun

Surprising what a difference 5 miles make doesn't it. Even taking into consideration my shading issues with the SSW it would seem you still had better weather:mad:. (damn those forecasters)

Shafeeq will be along soon and whats betting Sheffield's been cloudy all day:eek:

EricMears

It does of course support the theory that S facing is always best :T

And as for Sheffield ! Fifty years ago they'd have generated a big fat zero for 50 weeks of the year then had two good weeks during the shutdown
