    Andy_WSM tells me I've used the wrong sized image for my geeky silver spoon (but we're all a bit geeky here, aren't we?), so here is his site-crafted version....

    2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.
    Reg. for FIT Nov 2011. "It's not what you generate; it's how you use it that matters". One very clean Vauxhall Diesel Sri, £30.00 Road Tax: B)

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

    Not sure what people were complaining about yesterday, you all smashed my result of 0.72 Os. But still predicting 105% for March .... but slipping.

    All these 4's and Hawaii's, I'd just be happy with a Bond (double O! :p).

    @ old grouser - that's a spoon? I've seen smaller oars on a row-boat.

    @ tunnel - I said you could have a photo of my legs, didn't say you could post it!

    Mart.
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.

    Ah, good morning my little safety net. :T

    I don't think records will be falling today down here - certainly not high production records.

    A few days of cloud before some better weather would seem to be the forecast.

    I'm surprised you didn't find the shape of this spoon made it difficult to stir with. Years of practice?

    How long is that "spoon"? I have one like it. Spoon 4" diameter continental "white metal" (but in fact silver). 310 grams.

    Could it be a punch ladle?
    I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".

    I see I managed a brief period of 9kW import this morning without using the electric shower!

    Washing machine, tumble drier & dishwasher all on now - and no Sun to talk of. Oh dear...

    It looks like a busy morning at Sterling Manor. No sun in the locality but otherwise quite bright.
