Mahoosive 3kWh in Cardiff, despite almost constant rain, so 0.34 O's. :'(The rain and cloud cover was so black and heavy at lunchtime that we were generating less than 100W from a 7.2kWp south facing array. I had hoped that by doubling the array size we would at least generate enough to cover our background usage, even in the worst of conditions, but clearly not. Thankfully today is looking somewhat better.

12.5 hours of constant blue skies and strong sunshine for the last few days.
Obviously not at home, we're in Corfu with temps around 30C. Might have had to put the heating on if we were in Barnsley.
Don't be too jealous, there is a downside. Got a huge mozzie bite in a place that makes sitting really uncomfortable 😐
