    Hi All

    Worst July total so far, what a wonderful year this is proving to be .... :( ... still over PVGIS estimate though ... :D

    Import for comparison ... Gas:zero(again) - Electricity:64kWh

    Damn, beat me, 1 unit of gas and 66kWh of electricity for me.

  • 2.75 O's today. Last week has not been very good. A week ago was looking at 105%, but ended the month on 99.98%. So close. Just glad in % terms it was much better then June, as both Months I have a similar target.

    Oscargrouch, your standing charge is pricey, for me total bill for July £16.14, SC £8.68, Elec £7.22, Gas £0.24
    Is it worth being on a no/low sc tariff during the summer months and switching to a low unit charge tariff in the winter?!
    I think....

    624.6kWh, 106% of target. Not a bad July, not a good July, previous years range from 602-775.

    Import was 74kWh.

    Annual prediction 101%.

    It's all good. :cool2:

    563/463 kWh of PVGIS

    My dodgy maths makes that more than 20% over target. :D :T :beer:

    101.5% against July target. 557 kwh generated, just over the target of 549 kwh.


    12% down on July 2015.


    Got some work to do on the Import side, 201 kwh Imported during July.

    July totals for me:

    Generated 519.3kWh v PVGIS 457kWh = 113.6%
    Imported 311.8kWh v July 2015 (pre-install) 503kWh = 38% saving

    Looks like I need to look at ways of making better use of my generation, although with both of us out working all day and children that are basically nocturnal during the summer, I suspect it's going to be tricky....:o

    That's a lots of electricity usage for July, do you have gas?

    I don`t think that usage is overly bad, mine isn`t a million miles away. And as they say they`ve got kids so the house is probably occupied the majority of the time.
