    Why so negative? Do you have a problem telling us roughly where you live?

    Not negative. Just a really good point you make. It's pointless.

    I've already posted my setup and location.

    Just over a couple of O's today, my WNW made its April target, the others not so t2409.gif


    On the upside I "bought" just over £30 worth of leccy(bout 7kWh a day) but generated over £200 for April, with figures like that....what's not to smile about smiley-happy069.gif

    Didn't even think to put my leccy savings on post.

    We reduced our daily usage down from 15kWh a day (consistently tracked over last 2 years) to average of 6kWh. This means a reduction of approx £35pm:D:D
