    Thwarted again by some late cloud on my WNW, only managed 5.91 O's overall(38.42kWh). Had the sky stayed clear all day I'd have had my first 40+ day....so still the wait goes on

    Just the usual Hawaii for me + 1.64 O's.....smiley-laughing021.gifcoffee.gif

    A decent 20.26kWh for me (another Hawaii), hot on the heels of a couple of days hitting 18kWh.
    Looking good (so far) for hitting monthly target, as I'm currently at 45% of projected.

    Yes, I was the same last night. Currently at 46% and 107% of elapsed (eg, 107% of the total I should expect to have after 13 days), which is very decent!

    I might make up for my under par April and May yet!

    It's not an obsession...it's worse than that:rotfl:

    Mrs L is doing her bit...just put the washing on at 0830, before the sun's fully on our panels;)

    I don't want a Wattson either, because it CAN be obsessional - but is there a less obsessional way of stopping Mrs Grouser casually putting the tumble dryer on at 9pm?

    Remove the fuse, and when Mrs Grouser says "it's not working," reply, "I'll have it fixed by 10.00AM tomorrow"...or earlier if it's exceptionally sunny;)

    Managed 20.6kWh, thought I was in for a better day but it clouded up this afternoon. Can some one explain what O's are?
