Imported 36kwh overnight charging up the new car ready for a long trip this weekend and topping up the packs due to the poor Solar… thank the lord for octopus go!
Solar forecast makes for pretty depressing reading all the way out to 10 days for me. A few ok days, mostly garbage!

I cleared the snow off the panels. It was torturing me seeing 3 inches sitting there and the sun beaming at 7am.

Very long broom?

Ladder and (an improvised) long plastic pipe got it done..

I was wondering about them very long brushes people use as to if it might be worth getting one.
I dont plan to clean the panels as such but its always possible something could end up stuck to one.

OMG, having to pull the blinds down due to the glare on my screen. This can only be a good thing.

TBH I think going straight to refrigerated transport containers is best.
Can squeeze a few extra panels on the roof then to help with the costs!
We've still got a 40 foot fridge trailer at work

My solcast still doesn't really like next week or so, odd day with a little more generation scheduled (today and tomorrow should beat the 2-3 kWh I got last couple of days) but nothing spectacular on the horizon.
I'll settle for "not great not terrible" though.

Need to invent some sort of drone leafblower for dislodging snow from panels!

Actually brightened up a little here and saw 1kw briefly
Fingers crossed
