    Got 4.8 O's and now a couple of percent ahead of target, and closed on 19,996.5kWh. :cool2:

    Mart

    Tha she blows! 20,000.2kWh. Since Mid August 2011.

    In that time we've probably consumed approx 15MWh of leccy, of which 8MWh import and 7MWh PV.

    Time flies.

    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.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.

    4.3 O`s for me yday. Month is trickling along nicely, nothing spectacular but keeping ahead of "target".

    Ref: "In that time we've probably consumed approx 15MWh of leccy, of which 8MWh import and 7MWh PV." - Martyn

    Has anyone Metered over a substantial period how much of their Elec is now provided by PV as apposed to Imported? I know typically installers say it`s around 50% 50%, just curious.

    I had mine installed a few months after I moved into a new house so don`t have any pre-PV figures to compare against.
