Yeah it’s still there and the winds dropped back to gusting 45 now so we are over the worst, kids play house is wedged between a raised flower bed and the back shed so will prise that free tomorrow, my surviving 275wp panel from the old “too” mobile array fell from its twenty degree pose to flat on the floor face up, no worse for wear.
Started the day at 66 percent on the batteries and finished with 88 percent which was unexpected, more so now the new electric induction range is fitted and being used. So despite a stormy grey cold day the panels are doing their stuff most of the time and in a normal summer we would be coasting.
Really nice to see the power off Kirkhill already better than June and July I think and only part way through the month.
Just took the bio heaters out for their bedtime toilet and off up the wooden hill.
