I’ve not checked pvgis yet, but just over 30 Os for the month. Compared to 40 last Nov.

0.58 O's for the last day of a poor month. Only 73% of PVGIS, compared to 110% and 111% for the last two Novembers.

November results. 

Disaster / perfect storm*. Very poor month with 26% of target. Huge spread, with 23% for the ESE/SSW and 48% for the WNW. 

Generated 72kWh (8.25 O's).
Imported 744kWh.
Exported 11kWh.
Total consumption 805kWh. 
Gas was ~77kWh. [DHW & oven.]

Consumption reasonable. BEV charging was mostly cheap rate. GCH is still off, and fingers crossed, will remain so.

Worst Nov result by a long way.

Currently projecting 83% for the year, which would 'smash' our worst year 2017 which was 99%.

[*Poor weather impacted generation. Also I'm using A2A units for heating, so not only charging batts from cheap rate, but had to charge extra due to poor gen. My batts are DC side, so the import winds the TGM backwards. So when I use that leccy the meter winds forward, but less due to battery losses.

Weather improved for second half of month, but neighbours installing a wood burner, so there's scaffolding up with a large platform around the chimney, which is to the south of my main roof panels.

Looks like this Nov about 300kWh of leccy higher than usual, but no GCH, so gas about 700kWh lower. Leccy bill actually lower than last year, since almost all import was cheap rate (about 10kWh day rate)]

Considering what a carp month it was the additions to your system appear to be performing very well no wonder you're cautiously confident about getting through the winter without having to resort to GCH. Quite some achievement if so and well worthy of a smug grin come next Spring.

As for here, well the worst Nov since install, 2018 returning 28 O's, 248 kWh's, 85% pvgis so along with Dunkelflaute even Graig Fatha and Kirkhill contribution couldn't bring our generation totals to match consumption being some 302kWh's adrift. The worst performing month of the year even Jan, Feb and March were better. Thank goodness for storage batteries and Octopus tariffs, Intelligent Go and Outgoing.
