    Got 1.55 O's on my SSW and first time in a while checked my ESE which made 1 O today.
    My WNW just trundles along doing about 6-700Wh a day at this time of year so I don't bother checking it(only to make sure its generating)
    Not long till summer smiley-happy005.gif

    Thanks Nick. Is your set up utilising micro inverters to assist with the shading or is it only an issue during the late afternoon during winter months?

    Just the one inverter. The trees are far enough away for the light to be diffused across the whole array. I need to get a tree surgeon to reduce the height of them anyway so it won't be a problem for too much longer.

  • 1.3 Os. And just 30% of target half way through the month. Merlin's sun god is working for him.
