    1.40 O's (5.57 kWh) Cloudy, windy with 15 minutes of sun here but alas I was in York and never saw it.

    Est now requires just short of 4 O's per day to be reached. LOL smiley-laughing025.gif

    2.47 Os. Not too bad on a generally un-sunny day.

    I won't be watching anything in 2090, Eric. My current ambition is to make it to Christmas.


    Early sun lured me out of bed to put on the washing machine, after which dark clouds rolled in for the much more energy-demanding dryer. Just over 3 Os today.


    Incidentally, I don't know what's got into the British Gas FIT guys. I'm only about 10% over the PVCIS estimate for the quarter, and there they are demanding a photo of the meter. They don't generally get stroppy unless it's somewhere around 15% over. It seems that some of you are lucky enough not to have this overproduction problem (though I noticed blinding sunshine at Murrayfield earlier).
