ToughButterCup Posted January 31, 2023 Posted January 31, 2023 Fings is lookin' up.... One whole 48p's worth of PV generated by lunchtime for the first time this year. Snowdrops are poking their heads up , and Rees Mogg isn't on the radio every bleedin' day. Whass not ter like? 1
jayc89 Posted January 31, 2023 Posted January 31, 2023 We have a wide south-facing window, which I'm having to keep the curtains closed on most of the day to avoid the sun being directly in my eyes whilst working. Got me thinking, must be a pretty good aspect for a PV array...
Marvin Posted January 31, 2023 Posted January 31, 2023 Hi @ToughButterCup Yes I remember our delight at the first 1, 10, 100 and 1000kWh!!! Most exciting next was charging the car, then the hot water via a diverter. I am keenly looking forward to the first 10,000kWhs! Camelias @SteamyTea? No, not out yet. But soon...

But it travels in a SW to NE direction. So that makes you about 45 miles away, in time. So should only be a day and a bit later (30 hours).

Fly100 Posted January 31, 2023 Posted January 31, 2023 313 kWh here, nice little boost at the end of the month too. 1
