    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.

    Will give you my result in a couple of days; need to work out the average from Nov '12 - end of June '16...didn't record the first year of savings....:(

    Here are some numbers for you to crunch/chew on....:cool:
    Usage before PV was installed in 2011: 2,671 kWh per year.
    2012: Billed 1463kWh (No way of measuring Actual Use).
    2013: Billed 1868kWh Used 3197kWh.
    2014: Billed 1683kWh Used 3500kWh.
    2015: Billed 1474kWh Used 3013kWh.
    2016: Billed 1155kWh Used 2128kWh (calculated to end of June '16).....coffee.gif

    Edit: Billing year is Nov - Oct; hence 2016 figure is for 8 months, of which 6, are the worse for savings...:eek:
