    I have had two consecutive days of 4.5 'O's but today only 1kw so far and dull with a wet forecast. Certainly no spectacular results so far this month.

    Awhh, go on winky, be kind to T - re-arranging his question, "have you raised the roof in proportion to other 'tings'?" ;)

    I'm surprised that all the thought smoke coming out of Oscar's can, hasn't inspired him .... yet!

    Weather here has been consistently good all month so far. Looking like a 110% month if it stays average for the last couple of weeks.

    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.

    You do realise that when your FiTs provider asks why your generation has improved so dramatically that giving them 3 guesses won't wash...smiley-laughing021.gif

    Pretty exciting day - hit the 2,000 Kw/h generated mark.

    Since the 4kw system was installed on 27/03/2014.

    110 days or 18 kw/h (4.5 O's) average per day.

    I'd certainly expect to hit 4,000 Kw/h for the year and almost certainly more.
