    9,710 Wh / 3,780 Wp = 2.57 Os.

    Strange cold day with reasonable amount of sunlight but with hail at 15:30 and considerable rainfall in a short period.

    Family is reacting very well to the red export light with lots of rushing around to start the washing machine and tumble dryer.

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

    Marvellous ... it's 2.34kWh/kWp per day here just to not be the worst February from our system ... another way of looking at it is that 68% through the month we've generated 36% of the total for February last year ...

    You always get a bad month or two so perhaps this summer will compensate ... ;)

    Not really getting any better .... couple of days later and the target has moved from 2.34 to 2.36kWh/kWp, so just about met target but the next few days don't look too promising ...

    Is anyone else really miffed by the loop which BBC/MetOffice keep running boasting that they run 7(?) day forecasts and their advanced equipment means that everything they say is accurate .... 7 DAYS and/or ACCURATE ?? who do they think that they're kidding, they can't even show what has already happened accurately - running a loop at 10am which predicts sun overhead here at 8am when it's mostly been cloudy horizon to horizon & raining since at least 6am really gets my goat .... how do they expect to get the future right if they cant even describe the past ??? .... Grrrrr ... :D ....

    The good news is that we're nearly half way to last year's total for February .... :whistle:
