    Fabulous sunny day here in N Derbys. One tiny snag though - 2" of snow on all panels completely stopped any generation and the shallow slope of our roof will probably mean we'll wait several days before the TGM moves again.

    Even more annoying is that our N facing roof is almost clear - not freak sunshine from N; it has a slope of something like 70 deg

    Wall to wall sunshine today, shame only my SSW has sprung in to life, the other 2 bogged down by snow still


    Anyhoo....just over 2.5 O's(and still generating(just)) for my SSW(5.06kWh). This system has now passed the PVGIS estimate with 3 days to spare, more than I can say about the other 2, time to invest in a long sturdy pole me thinkssmiley-think004.gif

    I did 1.9 Os (7.47kWh) today (I suffer a bit of shading from adjacent house this time of year for an hour at the start of the day).

    It's all been very welcome with most of it being used by the UFH again - meaning no heat pump needed between 8am & 2:30pm even though it was just a few degrees above today.

    Monday & Tuesday looking good for Sun, but cold. Then a rainy blip for the New Year - although milder, so consumption will be much the same.

    2 Os for me today. Even got 0.81 kWh for the hot water heating.


    Monthly cumulative with three days to go 88.3 kWh. PVGIS target 110 kWh. Most unlikely to reach my target

    Have beaten November production by 10 Kwh.:T

    Now at 106% of Dec PVGIS Estimate and like Oscar 2nd best day of the month.smiley-happy110.gif

    This nice weather does cause problems. The frost means I end up taking the car to work instead of the bike!

    LOL. OK, so i'm still learning, but my guess is that's 2.5 O? A Hawaii being 5 O?
