Today was looking good for a new PB but late afternoon cloud spoilt it, Nowty Towers has yet to experience the perfect day this year. And the days are now getting shorter and increased temperatures are reducing efficiency. :evil:

But today was still a tie with yesterday at 90 kWh so a joint PB. :xx:

June 2nd would have been the PB this year but I was out of house and the charge controllers throttled back with full batteries. Its going to take a re-powering of the main roof to get to 100 kWh in a day but that will happen at Nowty Towers sooner or later.

Cheers Joeboy and all,

Just had a live group video call from daughter in hospital and SWMBO who is at her house with the other grand parents and grandson 1. The first baby out swallowed some birth fluid and later their breathing was noted to be a bit low so he is now in an incubator and has had blood tests and a a chest Xray. :?

Its all good though, oxygen levels fine, lungs clear, no infection but he's staying there in the incubator overnight under observation and likely will come out of the incubator tomorrow to be reunited with his womb buddy and they should all be home on Monday. :)
