    Still no O, but tickled it again with 5.5kWh (0.986 of an O).
    Tomorrow looks better, could just tip an O.

    Oh no. It's a no O blow, Doh!

    The weatherman lied, but 0.68 O is ok, I suppose. Just ahead of Jan target at the moment, but has stayed pretty close to 100% all month, boringly predictable ...... a bit like me. :D

    Underwhelming day in Cider Country (we do get them too): 4.535kWh or 1.23 Os.

    Not quite enough to pay for a pint at the pub but I won't let that stop me :beer:

    1.2 KW again. Expert opinion today is that the only part generating is the NNW roof, which according to the engineer who visited today, is actually true north! He thinks the 2 small rooves, WSW and SE are countering each other and confusing the inverter...much like Marty communicated to me when I first joined and he kindly gave me an opinion on the mixed array. Be grateful for your 0.6 Os ...Id love that daily.

    The only O I got today was the one in front of the decimal point - 0.52 O's...smiley-sad026.gif

    On the positive; Gen Meter gives 26.96 O's for the Month todate.
    Wattson/Holmes gives 26.71 O's for the month. Very happy with that comparison.... coffee.gif
