We had clouds until 11:20 when the sun came out and stayed out. Seagull's have made a right mess of the garage panels, wonder how much I'm losing due to that.

We ended on 47.51 generated and 40.18 exported.
It's cloudy here, clouds coming off the north sea, and then melt away once past Kent.
Shame about that bit between 14:40 and 16:00, an otherwise perfect day.
See this video - might have to invest myself, especially the filters given our hard water - it dries and leave limescale on the panels.
We had quite a cloudy day, but still managed 30.45 kWh and 26.73 exported.
@94JDH that's certainly a contrast to yesterday.
I'm currently generating 124w...........French weather again!
Let's hope the panels get a good wash, they need it.

It's winter here, even turned the heating up in the office.
It was absolutely dire here, just 9.43 generated and 7.79 exported, worst day since the 22 March.
And to add insult to injury I get home and find two seagulls trying to make a nest on my roof, between the solar panels and the ridge, all twigs and sticks all over my panels
Thing is there is two rows of bird spikes along there, so they must have felt a spike or two!
So out with the ladders, gloves, bucket, hi-vis coat (figured they might not like bright colours) and up I go, and remove all the detritus, they must have been heavy smokers as there was at least four dog ends! Luckily I didn't get dive bombed!
No seagulls were harmed, and in the interest of bird safety, the materials were removed.
Fortunately my roof is fairly accessible, I get on to a ground floor roof, then secure a ladder into the corner and climb onto the main roof, which was a bit slippery, but its a valley between two right angle roofs which makes it easier, and concrete tiles, so nice and strong.
Lets hope they don't come back!

I hit double figures at 11:50Almost midday and no-one in double figures. We've done a stonking 2.0kWh so far.
That was a lot of cloud covering most of the UK today, luckily we were on the edge of it and it was quite a bit brighter today than yesterday.
Generated 26.09 and exported 21.9.
46 forecast for tomorrow and 50 for Friday.

Had an email from Loop tonight:
Not as good as forecast here, generated 30.75 and exported 27.3 kWh.
It was more the 30% more than Scotland bit (see my location to the left), but I thought I'd leave the payback bit in the quote.

Unless you've been on the thread from the start you won't get the relevance or amusement factor, I'm sure @katie279 will.

I doubt it very much.
