    Well it may well do, but I don't see why I would ever read a message while logged out, nor even why I would ever log out. I just tried logging out and looking at the message but Lastpass logged me straight back in again! Life's too short and all that.

  • This year has been the worst October generation since my system was installed.

    2010 - 81 kWh
    2011 - 110 kWh
    2012 - 87 kWh
    2013 - 77 kWh

    Still above Climate PVGIS for the calendar year to date though.

    Hiya GH, my figures for ESE follow a similar pattern:

    2011 - 176 kWh
    2012 - 166 kWh
    2013 - 157 kWh
    (target 162)

    but the WNW wants to be difficult:

    2012 - 60.5 kWh
    2013 - 67.7 kWh
    (target 65)

    Back to November, nice day today, with 1.11 Os (stop laughing, that's good for me). Predicted gen sitting at 100%, and very nice day tomorrow, hopefully. But long term forecast is not pleasant. Ho hum!

    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.
