    Blimey that is low

    10Kw shower with 4 people doesnt help. I also find im having to constantly point out that using the machines during the day is free as opposed to later when they cost.


    Yes the 10Kw shower is no help at all!!! Our shower used to be gravity fed from the immersion heater which is in the loft but it was not powerful enough so we had a small pump installed!! We are forever cloud watching!! I have been known to turn the washing machine off 7 times when I have seen the clouds appearing!!! Just like playing a game with it all really and keeping our consumption as low as possible plus it makes financial sense. Me being at home is a great help for our low usage!!


    Not looking good for generation today all though saying that it is meant to brighten up this afternoon!! Or so they say!!!

    May 2015 - 163 kWh
    May 2014 - 158 kWh
    May 2013 - 158 kWh
    May 2012 - 154 kWh

    After a spectacular April (PVGIS + 37.5%) May was always going to be 'disappointing' :D Most days seemed unseasonably dull at the time but in fact I've (nearly but I won't get excited about the last 0.1 kWh) finished the month at PVGIS +14%. In real numbers that's 11kWh less than May but I'm content to consider it as 63kWh more than I was 'entitled to'
