    O.98 O, so close to a plural figure!

    Now projecting 81% for month end, but dropping fast as each day the hoped for numbers are overwritten with reality.

    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.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.

    @Coastalwatch As of yesterday (11th), we have generated 20.5% of our PVGIS target for February. If we continue at this rate then that extrapolates to 52% of PVGIS for the month.
