    I really would look at doing a midnight sabotage on that tree if I were you. Sorry mate but that's diabolical. My 2kWp ESE had racked up 5.5kWh by that time meaning yours should easily have generated another 7-8kWh. Time to get tough me thinks:cool:

    Only 0.2 O's difference, what are you worried about..smiley-sad047.gif



    Not wishing to take the P but; you did 3.17 O's and I only did 3.8 O's today. You are used to bad results, I am not. [\b]smiley-laughing021.gif Who do you think is most worried........coffee.gif

    If I were you I would get used to it, I might take up tunnel's advise. :rotfl:

  • The forecast for West Notts 24 hours in advance of Monday stated sunny periods in the afternoon. There weren't any; in fact the inverter didn't reach 600W all day. A similar forecast for today, but with less sun. The result? Constant sunshine from mid-morning 'til sunset, yielding 15.79 kWh!

    A similar level of accuracy offered in NE Derbys too ! :mad:

    Sunday's forecast was reasonably accurate : predicted plenty of sun & we got it. 19kWh allowed a couple of loads of washing plus some cooking along with water pumping and the 750W immersion heater was on most of day. :j

    Monday was going to be rather similar but with some cloudy spells. Alas, we only had one cloudy spell and it lasted from dawn to dusk ! Only 4kWh all day so I didn't even do my daily rainwater pumping. Although to get it in context, even 4kWh yields twice the FIT payment of my lost ISA interest.

    Forecast for Tuesday was even worse than Monday so I rushed downstairs to do some water pumping before E7 period ended. Mistake ! By 10:30 we were over 2kW and stayed there till well after 3pm. 15kWh total yield and immersion running much of day long with a few other minor uses.

    Today's forecast is pretty similar to what was forecast yesterday. Absolutely no idea whether that will actually result in long sunny spells or if we'll have to switch the lights on to eat lunch.:doh:

    Dull and cloudy for most of yesterday but some unexpected sunshine from 15.00 - 1600 = 1.85 O's:D

    Today looks to be similar
