    Saved from the 'spoon' by Oscar...only 2.65% below whatever you used for your numbers....cmon Mart..smiley-laughing021.gif

    0.92 O's for me......coffee.gif

    Have I become the official 'Solar Feel Good' mascot for MSE?

    "Well, it's been a rotten day here, but at least I did better than Mart!" :(

    So, scores on the doors today, very close call ......... 5.1kWh or 0.914 O's. So I saved you from the spoon, but not all is lost, I get to point at Nick for a cheap laugh today. Hopefully that'll get me over the cold hearted rejection from Andy this morning. ;)

    On track for over 1,000 Os though for my first year. Which doesn't seem bad for a south east facing...

    It will always be my inverter dashboard.

    When I got up this morning at 6am, Wattson showed I'd already generated power.

    For clarity, I will never use Wattson figures, just not accurate enough. Good for seeing that I haven't left things running by mistake and that the solar / diverter is working. Not accurate enough for anything else :(

    Being that you only started using it on or around the 24th of Nov '14; give it a chance. From personal experience inverters get the occasional 'blip'. I would be interested to know where you have (exactly) your clamps from the Wattson transmitter connected. :D

    I'll have a poke around the meter cupboard when it's light tomorrow as that's where all 3 clamps are.

    edit - actually, one of the clamps is unrelated as it's for the diverter.
