    I have a similar feeling; weather is so warm now that the 1kW heater I was using makes the house far too hot; so I put it in the garden to increase the 'Global Warming'....smiley-laughing021.gif

    5.84 O's today....:D

    Is it me, or is it a little bit warm?

    Current targets and generation
    Target 21kWh's 3.76 Os
    4th - 21.3 - 3.82
    5th - 31.1 - 5.57
    6th - 30.6 - 5.48
    7th - 31.3 - 5.61

    If forecast stays true, then same again today and another 8 days in the pipeline. Overheating here, and the water butts are running down fast.

    Mart.
    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.

    We've had a few days in Scotland so haven't been reporting lately.

    30/6 22.944

    1/7 16.928
    2/7 8.349
    3/7 12.548
    4/7 20.496
    5/7 25.285
    6/7 26.883
    7/7 26.37
    Week 136.9
    July Forecast 436 kWh
    7 days worth = 98.45
    so first 7 days July are 39% up on forecast

    Let's hope that rest of July & August match that.

    No problems with water yet. Tanks were 96% full last Monday and of course still are so we can put up with 6 weeks of drought. May have to start watering greenhouse with tap water before that though as garden tanks aren't quite so healthy.

    Not quite so good today - 'only' 23.26 kWh Never got much above 3.3 kW and a cloudy spell around noon dropped to 1.4 kW

    But at least we've used a lot of it this week ! Two loads of washing, water pumping and cooked a meal plus the 750W of immersion heating will have been on most of day.

    Mart.

    How old are you? Hot flushes, you may have to put it down to "the change of life"....:rotfl:

    Only 6.52 O's today, both out, so probably exported most...:mad:

    Where has Shafeeq gone? At least my system outperformed Eric's..................:D (Not taking weather etc. into cosideration of course)..:)

    Nothing to do with "the system" - you probably didn't have the 2 hour cloudy interval just after noon.

    Fingers crossed we might beat 20kWh today, comfortably beating our previous best of 17.57kWh two weeks ago.
