    Best day of the year for sun I think. 6th in terms of production. From 10.45 @ 2.086 production fell to around .500 until 12.45 when it reached peak production @ 2.392 Not sure what happened in those 2 hours but the wife was saying they had snow in Beverly where she works around midday. Obviously preying has been working to avoid the snow.smiley-happy026.gif

    Still more than happy with 2.09 O's

    Just watched the weather forcast for the next 36 hours. Very little sun and lots of SNOW!!!!!!smiley-scared002.gif

    Will have to put a heater up on the roof to melt the snow! smiley-happy056.gif

    Reg. for FIT Nov 2011. "It's not what you generate; it's how you use it that matters". One very clean Vauxhall Diesel Sri, £30.00 Road Tax: B)

    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).

    Miserable figures Thursday, 3.435 kWh or .859 ho's.

    Not much more on Friday, with 3.98 kWh or 0.995 ho's!

    Still, gen meter shows that we passed 3 MWh yesterday, with 3001.10 on the clock!

    Red light just flashed on. 1.58 Os. Last few days make up to an extent for dreadful January results. Nearly, 6 kW/h today with 2 kW/h diverted to immersion.
