Post by Joeboy »

Been out for an accessible clear of a few panels. A mighty 40W upward tick. :D
Sky is clearing, might even have a 1kWh total take today!
Left the top strings alone though. :o

The ones on the roof will clear soon enough, we had a small flurry here earlier - very seasonal and we finally managed a minus two overnight figure to join the rest of the frozen masses of the UK :lol:

starting to brighten here and hopeful of maybe 1 or 2 kWh myself.

As the sun came out I thought I would clear the snow off of my panels, just had a little snow along the bottom edge of the ones on the garage roof which came off easily. Panels on the caravan port roof have about 2" of frozen snow on them, managed to clear a few but decided it's not worth the risk of falling off the roof for a few extra watts. Packed up and came inside only for the snow to start again! :x
