    It's a shocking day in the West Midlands today. It may as well be mid December for all the light there is. :(

    No better in the East midlands either, it just hasn't stopped raining all day :(

    10.43Wh for Monday & Tuesday combined, with today's offering a measly 2.99!

    Still, nearly Christmas :rudolf:

    1.4 Os Ouch! Week 4 was a killer, less than half of week 3, and dragged month end prediction right down.

    Clinging on to a wishful 104%, but tomorrow looks bad. Fingers crossed for the last 2 days, weatherman says a bit of sun, but he's been known to fib!

    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.

    4.92kWh / 1.23 O's today - another dismal day reminiscent of the latter half of last week! Today and those 4 days last week have hit me hard if I wanted to reach 100% PVGIS estimate for this month. Probably generated just a third of expected for those days.
    Come back sun, all is forgiven!

    A terrible three days, total 5.33 kWh for all three, I am now almost exactly on SAF PVGIS on a daily basis, so will be below at the end of the month as there is no significant sun forecast until Saturday.
