Yet again, weather forecast for today was effectively suggesting I might as well switch the panels off. But, (surprise surprise !) we had a number of bright spells during the day (one peak of 3.6kW) along with a steady glare behind clouds and generated 13.6kWh (or just above the pvgis prediction for a typical August day) so far (still churning out 60W so could creep up a little yet).NE Derbyshire.4kWp S Facing 17.5deg slope (dormer roof).24kWh of Pylontech batteries with Lux controller BEV : Hyundai Ioniq50

Another spectacularly useless weather forecast : "thick cloud all day, frequent showers!"

No idea where today came from, but after 17 East and 9 West, I'm happy for it to make as many surprise visits as it wants. I may even leave the front door ajar and put out an extra welcome mat!
