thefathippyHuzzah!There goes the shortest day of the year (yes yes, still 24hrs, but you know what I mean). More daylight coming, woohoo! Possibly interesting - my 10kW <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/SolarPanels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SolarPanels</a>, half facing the wrong way for winter (SW), produced 22kWh today (clear sky). That's well over my normal daily consumption. Peak summer, when the SW panels really kick in, was 69kWh on a clear 24 December, just after summer solstice (which had some cloud). <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/WinterSolstice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WinterSolstice</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/solar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#solar</a>

I never tire of taking photos of the tower and love the angle here and the clear, bright blue sky behind it and trees below.
