There's no point in it, is there:eek:
Well spotted.....still in holiday mode. 4.125 O's it is:D
Probably called 'Point Less'...Glad you had a good Hol:DHas anyone Metered over a substantial period how much of their Elec is now provided by PV as apposed to Imported? I know typically installers say it`s around 50% 50%, just curious.
I had mine installed a few months after I moved into a new house so don`t have any pre-PV figures to compare against.
Will give you my result in a couple of days; need to work out the average from Nov '12 - end of June '16...didn't record the first year of savings....:(Nice day on the E. Coast = 4.425 O's here today:)
Better than here....3.08 O's...

Here are some numbers for you to crunch/chew on....:cool:
Usage before PV was installed in 2011: 2,671 kWh per year.
2012: Billed 1463kWh (No way of measuring Actual Use).
2013: Billed 1868kWh Used 3197kWh.
2014: Billed 1683kWh Used 3500kWh.
2015: Billed 1474kWh Used 3013kWh.
2016: Billed 1155kWh Used 2128kWh (calculated to end of June '16).....
Edit: Billing year is Nov - Oct; hence 2016 figure is for 8 months, of which 6, are the worse for savings...:eek:2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.
