I've got a problem right now. Next door is having a loft extension and the scaffold and tin hat is blocking all the sun from my panels... 🙁 no benefits of winter sun for me

That's not great - when the scaffolding's gone, will the loft extension continue to shade your panels?

@editor no it should be fine. The roof was never a problem before. It's not being lifted by much. Just enough for a loft extension... I hope

@editor shading is killing me at the moment. Must be costing me 20kW a day, minimum

@batalto, yikes, as much as that. That would annoy me a lot. How much longer before the scaffolding's gone?

@editor no idea. But only 3 or 4 panels of the 6kw facing south are actually getting any sun... It won't be too much longer. But all this cold and clear skies really hurts lol
