    Not often I'm above average, but my 0.54 Os is looking pretty decent.

    Another grey day expected here, but tomorrow has been upgraded from grey to grey with a hint of sun.

    Feb's prediction is still very, very good, so no complaints ...... yet.

    Mart.

    PS The planned Welsh annex'ing of the IsLLe of Wight is on hold. You simply wouldn't believe the problems we've had. Perhaps, looking back, a pub, and copious amounts of Brains Dark are not the most advantageous conditions for planning a naval invasion. M.
    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.

    Pretty meagre where I am too (or rather where the panels are... I'm at work, but can check thanks to Wattson!)... Somewhere around 0.16kWh generating at the moment - and that didn't start happening until around 11am.

    I think today is a write-off!
