Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

Three O's on Sunday which was a nice uptick from the recent gloom.Hit the first anniversary of our system's commissioning last week too, with 3.2MWh generated, which was 96% of PVGIS. We managed to use 1.1MWh (1/3) of that and exported the other 2.1MWh.In the same time our import came down from an average 3MWh to 1.8MWh making us net exporters.Thanks to the summers generous flux prices I recon we got 15% of the install cost back this year, which I don't expect to continue but was still a nice start to PV ownership.3.6 kW PV in the Midlands - 9x Sharp 400W black panels - 6x facing SE and 3x facing SW, Solaredge Optimisers and Inverter. 400W Derril Water (one day).

1.59 O’s - if it weren’t for the next week and a bit terrible weather predicted I’d say we were in danger of generating close to what we did in September.

0.5kWh isn't worth calculating to O's. Seems today's constant rain was worse than yesterday's fog.
Boiling the kettle for my pre-bedtime hot drink (rosehip and elderberry cordial to scare away colds and flu) has drained the last of the battery too
