    Go on winky, give it up!

    Actually, the answer/solution is one I'd love to do, and being the north half of a semi-detached, with E/W panels, would help my generation considerably. But being only half of the semi, means I'd get told off (or arrested :o), if I went and 'did it'.

    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.

    Without knowing any of your history I was going to say that!

    I thought you made it obvious when you said:
    Always had rubbish generation in the mornings. Until now that is!!!!
    That something causing shading had been removed, and that it was most likely a chimney stack!

    Should have said earlier but thought it was a closed competition!:(

    This also seemed likely to me, but because Oscar etc hadn't guessed it, and I also didn't know the history, I assumed there must be something more complicated going on that I didn't know about!

    Sometimes (often) the simplest solution is the best :)
