    The day turned into the 3rd best day of the year. Snow went very quickly. Helps that I coated the panels with teflon!..smiley-laughing021.gif Very strange graph for the day with lots of quick ups and downs. Total came in at 2.74 O's (10.89 kWh)

    Glorious sunny day day, got home expecting to see around 5kwh on the generation meter... Sadly, zilch!
    Inverter had failed to initialise it seems - had a flashing power LED - and only found out when I got home after work. Gutted!
    Reset the isolators and that seemed to kick the inverter back into action, but the sun had almost set, so a whopping 0.04kWh registered.

    :rotfl: Could be pass the spoon for you then..:rotfl: 2.08 O's here; don't understand how Eric did, if he can't work it out, then neither can I...eusa_think.gif...coffee.gif

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

    You need all the spoons you can get, just to keep up with all the stirring you do! :eek:

    Big news for me, is that the WNW has hit an O twice, with 2.3 and 2.1kWh so it's finally found the sun again. Not too bad I suppose hibernating for 3 months of the year, could be worse, could have fitted Tunnel's snow magnets. ;)

    @Sterling, so you hadn't seen 7 or 8kWh before. Hold onto your hat then for the Spring/Summer rollercoaster, as you'll hopefully add 20 more.

    Mart.
    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.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.

    Quite simple really : £3.75 - though I don't usually bother with daily earnings.

    I'm looking forward to that, Mart. It's a shame that for my 8,000 Wh yesterday, 3,000 Wh were diverted to the immersion. Presumably, on a 20,000 Wh day, my immersion would see 15,000 Wh. Still learning.

    Will be making a quick dash home at lunchtime today to check all's well... the sky is blue, sun is out!
    Also just ordered a Wattson, at least I'll be able to check remotely via the statistics website in future once it's up & running and I get the extra gateway required.

    I've been creeping toward the elusive 3 - AND THRASHED IT!

    3.13 O's (12.28 kWh) What a bumper day for February. Needless to say, best day of 2015 to date.
