    Sun has been shining for 10 minutes now. This is an extraordinary change given that it has been BLACK all day.

    :rotfl: Had a glimpse of it around 16:45; getting too low by then to do me much good. Saw on your site your highest peak of 0.59 kW @ 16:25 today...smiley-laughing021.gif Final number for me is 0.4 O's; disaster....coffee.gif

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

    Daventry did slightly better. Here the late appearance of the sun bought me to 0.37 O's. So far, despite my dreadful overall performance, I have never been awarded the spoon.
