    Best day of the month at 8.6kWh or 1.6 Os.

    Only need 25kWh per day for the rest of the month to hit the target:rotfl::rotfl:

    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).

    Rubbish here today with 0.26 O's

    Managed to use Dishwasher and washing machine yesterday one after the other and still only used 3kWh of electric throughout the whole day.......How do we manage that with low generation figures?? .......We lit the stove in the living room to heat the water up first and both appliances fill up with hot water. So no heating up required for the water for either of them. That is how we manage to have a £12.00 a month electric bill. That will do nicely :cool:

    Nice day (at last) yesterday, nearly an O.

    Have submitted my FiT claim for qtr 4 ...... any lower and I'd get a bill! :o

    Still, 2015 should close at around 106% of target (back when the PVGIS targets were a little easier). Second best year.

    Mart.
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.
