    Hmmm, yep, winebuddy is correct. Offer on at the mo; double up on card points, = 50% off (buy one get one free). Been doing home brew a couple of years now. Around 10 days turn around, two 23Ltr drums. More effort involved cutting the lawn.... :D

    I bought my Wasttson in March 2014 and it is on 10.1 apparently, which is a bit poor.

    I've now got the new 10.4 firmware and installer so shall update this evening.

    I set mine to 240V after measuring my mains voltage with a multimeter, but I should do some more measurements over a few weeks to settle on an accurate average I guess.

    I think it must be remembered; no home monitor is of the same spec. as a 'smart meter'. Daily accuracy is often varied, annual is extremely close. I find Wattson + Holmes + all the other available bolt-ons very useful when trying to make the most of my generation...end of today's sermon...my-fingers-are-crossed-smiley-emoticon.gif.

    Back to the office... a/an Hawaii today + 0.84 O's....coffee.gif

    Edit: Plus; I am not giving the other fakeing Mr. O as in Osborne, any more of my hard earned cash...... *osser. :mad:

    Hawaii yesterday and just short of today. As I am going away tomorrow I am sure you will all get terrific results and will use lots of your generation. Mine will just be going to the grid!

    At least you're earning from it, it pains me to see empty south facing rooves. I'd rather send it to the grid and be knowing I'm making me two penneth from it.

    Absolutely, and mine are just 2kw east and the same on the west. My neighbours around with south facing rooves are pretty much ignoring the possibilities. The enquiries I have had for solar from neighbours have all had the E/W orientation. Strange, hah! Maybe the S-facers think they have it all already.

    31 days in July, so 5 days left. 447.3kWh in the tank for July already, but we're unlikely to beat last July's record of 561kWh. Hopefully we'll beat June 14 when we clocked up 517kWh and this will be the 2nd best month ever.

    I'm with you on this one sly_dog; currently at 130.76 O's for this July; last July did 160.24 O's. June this year clocked 142.28 O's. So could match/beat June this year; but no chance of getting to better July of last.......t1928.gif

    A/An Hawaii today + 0.24O's.......

    Re-Think: After todays result I only need 6 O's a day for the next 4 to beat July '13...........rolling-on-the-floor-laughing-smiley-emoticon.gif
