I didn't actually order the rain but was very grateful for it. All water tanks now completely filled (ready for long hot dry summer ??? :j )
And whilst it wasn't a brilliant day, we did manage 5.4kWh - which is way more than I actually need to cover lost ISA interest.NE Derbyshire.4kWp S Facing 17.5deg slope (dormer roof).24kWh of Pylontech batteries with Lux controller BEV : Hyundai Ioniq50 -

On 3/4/14 I had 2 O`s......should I expect even less than this some days, maybe in the depths of winter?

Afraid there have been days when I've generated nothing at all - in which case it doesn't matter if you call it 0 kWh or any other silly unit you care to substitute !NE Derbyshire.4kWp S Facing 17.5deg slope (dormer roof).24kWh of Pylontech batteries with Lux controller BEV : Hyundai Ioniq50 -

Zero, zilch, nowt, nothing, not a ting, diddly squat .... shall I continue?
On a really bad dark grey day even my WNW TGM which measures to one decimal place has shown nothing.
But, the sun'll come out tomorrow! It usually does.
So, week one comes to a close. kWh targets were 73 ESE and 35 WNW, and I got 32 & 21.1 excellent
So projected target (if rest of month average, blah blah blah) is 89%. But the week ahead looks pretty good, and above average, if the prediction is correct (aren't they always
).
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.
