    We had a power cut this morning about 9:45am and either my Wattson dashboard - or my diverter have been behaving differently ever since.

    I shall enter a read on the evening of the last day of the month and either be in here whining about it or grinning ear to ear :T

    ...and the spoons will be waiting!

    A niceish day up here in the Sussex Alps, with bits of cloud but no rain. Washing done and out, wife out, sun mostly out, and (since Andy's post led me to check) the system went over its March PVGIS estimate about coffee time this morning. 5 and a half O's so far. Silver spoons everywhere! It looks like spring even if it doesn't feel like it...

    There wasn't any sun today. I will end up just below 5 kWh, 1.3 0s.

    I am also failing with my PVGIS target. So far 250 / 312 = 80%
