    It could have been worse, you might have been slowly aligning your brain with mine, or dare I even suggest it ..... Oscar's. :eek:

    Pretty miserable weather here today, but overall November is some how keeping on target, even if the target is very low.

    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.

    No not psychic if you look my post was edited at 6:08 PM. I saw that the description you used fitted the bill for today's weather here in East Yorkshire. Just copied and pasted!;)

    As we are at the halfway point for November I am at 54% of my PVGIS estimate for the month. :j
