Only very brief sunshine here today - otherwise pretty miserable. Bottom of tank started at 17C and finished at 23C.

Had my first zero kWh from the panel today since 9th Feb this year. Not bad - nearly 10 full months of something every day.

The best day achieved a 40 degree tank. Both today and yesterday were miserable _ I can understand why the Scandinavians and Russians take to drink at this time of the year!

Most days in December, we're seeing nothing much - maybe 18-23C. We've had a few days where we've gone over 30C, and on the 20th December we managed 39C, although the panels have been covered in snow and/or frost for most of the last week.

The past few days have pulled the tank to over 30 degrees and I have had 20kWh from my PV array. Am very pleased!

Very bright sunshire today and despite the panels starting with a full covering of snow and ending partially covered I managed approx 2.5kWh - would probably have been more like 4.5 if I could have cleared the panels, and its just dropped another two inches of snow in the last hour to cover them over again  So unless its mega bright sun again tomorrow I'll not be so lucky  Moxi |

Some days the frost on the tubes seems to go earlier than on others. There can be up to 9kwh if it goes early and very cold days it takes until midday and the output ends up at about 4kwh, this is taken about 15 minutes before the sun is at due south.

December was quite a good month and output would have easily beaten October if it wasn't for the wet days at the beginning of the month. Average daily output for October was 4.3kwh, November 3.5 and October 4.7.
The combination of extremely wet conditions in November and frost in December has made the roads very dangerous at night where small floods from springs cross the road.

A lot of cloud in Decembre is SW France but on the clear days we got heating to our floors. We produced 118kWh from our PV and about 354kWh from the solar thermal.
