    Well done, Andy, on out performing PVGIS.

    I wonder whether I am suffering slightly for my tree shading. Time will tell.

    I lose an hour in the morning this time of year due to the bungalow next door. I think from memory, by Mid March it isn't an issue.

    0.94 O's (3.73 kWh) Do not believe the sun came round our way today!

    231.7 kWh against a PVGIS Estimate of 197 kWh 118%

    13 Days below 5 kWh produced 33.6 kWh

    So I made my estimate from 15 days

    6.0kWh today brought my monthly total to 200.5KWh.
    This is 117.9% of PVGIS.

    Fingers crossed this trend follows into March, so I can achieve my self-imposed target of 4000 by the 10th. Target PVGIS for March is 10.5 per day....so technically should be doable.

    C'mon Sun!! Show Yerself!

    Spoon me up, kids!!

    2.52 kWh / 0.63 O's - No sun today apart from a sneaky 30 mins or so of hazy skies... otherwise a blanket of cloud of varying thickness!

    Luckily it was enough to just nudge me over 100% PVGIS estimate for the month.
    93.72 kWh generated against a target of 92.9 kWh - making it 100.9%
