    Better make sure you have enough insurance to cover the loss then.  Be gutted if you get it and its "Brand New"... but even on this dull Saturday I'm just about covering my usage and battery at 85%... so I did not NEED it. ;)

    0.6kwh here so far today.  :s
    February's been a shocker here, possibly the worst in the 9 years we've had pv unless it improves next week.

    The forecast for the next 7 days looks pretty good apart from Tues/Wed so fingers crossed.

    Still running on 5p leccy from last night with 14% left in the batts. Should just about get us through until tomorrow morning's Go period.
    Not bad considering how rubbish the pv was today.
    Although we didn't use the leccy oven tonight otherwise we'd probably be importing at full price round about now.

    At the time if your post I was charging at 4.5p, I like this 8:30-11:30 charge time, I think it will work just fine
