    After a brilliant start to August then down to earth with a bump today. Reckon we might even take the wooden spoon.:o

    0.62 O's our lowest daily figure to date. But amazingly monthly generation 145% compared to pvgis!:j

    It will get far worse!:D

    0.02115869 O's is my worst! Very lucky I never had a Zero!

    You should have seen it in 2010 (admittedly pre-PV) - 13" deep and that was just on the car roof!
