    .83 of an O here today (3.25kWh).

    Surprised the house is still parked in the same spot with the wind we had last night / this morning.

    Great result, Merlin.

    Mrs Sterling and I were worried whether, having regard for the overnight winds, we would still have 14 panels in the morning. Trees are down on a nearby farm where we keep our horses, but solar panels are sound. Today, we had a wider time window and achieved 1.26 Os and still dumped a little to our immersion.

    It's OK, I'm going to start excluding my 2 panels that get shade from the neighbours roof this time of year until mid morning ;)

    Very windy night here, but strangely enough I never gave the panels any thought about not being there. Lived in the Outer Hebridies on Benbecula for 2 and 1/2 years so we are used to strong gales, wind and RAIN!!!! mostly coming in sideways and not downwards.:rotfl:

    We spent most of the day in York (30 miles due west) and that appeared a bit cloudy must have been lucky where the house is!:D
