Just a week to go until the anniversary of the panels going live. Nice to see I'm well over 1kWh/Wp and should be about 10% over PVGIS by this time next week.

@Netexporter Likewise, we managed 3800kWh of generation from a 3.645kWp array in our first 12 months (June 2024-25), which was a pleasant surprise.
We've doubled down this summer with another 3.56kWp giving 7.2kWp total, so hoping for 7000-7500kWh of annual generation, roughly matching our usage.

Our green credentials: 12kW Samsung ASHP for heating, 7.2kWp Solar (South facing), Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5kWh), Net exporter
