    Bit cloudy today, but at my current rate I should make another Hawaii, my 5th Hawaii in a row. Does that have a name?

    Hawaii squared?

    I'm certainly not pleased, I wish everyone could get 5+O's everyday:)

    I crashed and burned today with a measly 6.4kWh.

    Similar here with only 1.88 O's. So that's the summer gone then....:rotfl: smiley-sleep017.gifsmiley-laughing021.gif

    oi! it is "% of total generation used (i.e. not exported) over a calendar month" for a reason! no cherry-picking cloudy weekends here! :rotfl:

    That being said, it's my index, so I reserve the right to arbitrarily change the threshold for a Big Mac to suit the season (or my mood) ;)

    Oi? Excuse me, the graph showed 95.4% used in the House, okay, it may have been over a shorter month than yours.....so what....and I didn't 'cherry pick' cloudy weekends, just cloudy mid week...:rotfl:coffee.gif

    Me too. After a cold morning with a couple of showers I finished up with 5.2 O's:beer:

    Full tank of hot water, everything in the house fully charged, Dehumidifier ran flat out, and grass cut for free....if only I could have got Mrs l to do her ironing in the afternoon:think:

    Hi

    You can't be doing any worse than us .... two large streaks about 3 cells long and at least 2" wide on the same panel .... courtesy of the local duck population ... it'll take an absolute age for rain to clean that off ! ... :(
