    *Not sure which will pass the language police. Is it hail in the summer and sleet in the winter?
    Hail & sleet are really quite different ! Hail is definite lumps of ice falling, sleet is 'partially melted snow'. This page : http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/learning/rain/what-is-precipitation might help ?

    It's a fantastic day at the centre of England. The sky has been blue all day. I need this given my sad performance against PVGIS target.

    So far 6.43 kWh and 2.8 kW peak at 13:15

    This is the fun and excitement of not knowing how well your system is doing without remote monitoring :D
    I get home each day to a surprise! Looks to have been more blue sky than cloud passing overhead today from where I work 7 miles west of home... and the general movement has been eastwards I think.

    Computer generated, probably by a flawed model .... why not look at actual satellite photography to see what's really happening ... http://www.sat24.com/en/gb ... you never know, you might even watch a clear patch coming in your direction and perform your own short-term forecast and attempt to time appliance use to match generation ...

    It works here more often than not, which is a much better hit-rate than any professional forecast ...

    Is the Driffield watt different to the Metric Watt?


    Not too bad here at 10,300 Wh / 3,780 Wp = 2.72 Os
