    now I want the moon on a stick.
    Surely it'd be better to have it bright enough to start your inverter?

    Surely it'd be better to just have it bright enough to start your inverter at night?

    Hi all

    What can I say about August not much. . My enemies are still same. . Little sun, when I do get the sun it's the wrong time lol.. The tree seems to have blossomed more. Around 11.55am I'll get over 1kwh power... Before it can be sunny as you like the tree shade stops the generation. Believe it or not today generation is the one of the best one 3.14 O's. I know Oscargrouch will laugh and have a field day. .

    Yesterday generation of 2.12 O's. I'm going to hide now

    Time for a midnight raid on that tree me thinks, arm yourself with some copper nails and a 5L canister of weed killer. I'm sure someone will advise which would be the best to use;)

    I made 3.5 O's today, even got the nod from the wife to "extend" onto my 2 systems with a WNW add-on:)

    Estwing, about your signature

    Even though its sunny, its not all about the money

    For us early adopters its all about the money even though its sunny(we did pay nearly 3 times as much)
