First 300kWh Reached Despite The Snow

Woke up this morning to a dusting of snow on the solar panels. The forecast is that the main fall of snow will be this evening but with some heavy clouds in the early morning I really wasn't expecting much from today especially after the very poor performance on the previous snow cloudy day.

Snow on the solar panels - Feb 2012

Despite the poor start to the day the sun came out and we generated nearly 5kWh taking our total generation through the 300kWh mark. Hopefully now the longer days are coming we will see more records broken very soon. The last 7 days has seen the highest peak generation at 2400W but we still haven't yet breached the 10kWh barrier for a day.
