    Nice close to week 3 with a sunny/showery Friday. Got 3.17 Os (17.7kWh). Currently predicting month end of 106%.

    With Feb's gains offsetting Jan's losses, been a good start to the year so far.

    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.

    Good sunshine when passing clouds cleared, which was like every minute. Bet Dodo feels tired, running in and out checking generation. smiley-sex022.gif I sat around listening to the clicks on/off of my Optiplug as it took care of my heater.....:rotfl::rotfl: smiley-laughing021.gif

    3.68 O's at the end of day........coffee.gif
