I lose an hour in the morning this time of year due to the bungalow next door. I think from memory, by Mid March it isn't an issue.0 -
0.94 O's (3.73 kWh) Do not believe the sun came round our way today!

6.0kWh today brought my monthly total to 200.5KWh.
This is 117.9% of PVGIS.
Fingers crossed this trend follows into March, so I can achieve my self-imposed target of 4000 by the 10th. Target PVGIS for March is 10.5 per day....so technically should be doable.

Spoon me up, kids!!
2.52 kWh / 0.63 O's - No sun today apart from a sneaky 30 mins or so of hazy skies... otherwise a blanket of cloud of varying thickness!
Luckily it was enough to just nudge me over 100% PVGIS estimate for the month.
