    Oscargrouch, your standing charge is pricey, for me total bill for July £16.14, SC £8.68, Elec £7.22, Gas £0.24
    It all goes on TCR I guess; my gas price is small, (hopefully) usage is heavy; when I switched on to an MSE deal it was good, (last September). What is your current TCR as a matter of interest ? ;)

    Only made 3.04 O's today; back to earth with a...chemist-smiley-emoticon.gif..... coffee.gif

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

    Only just checked July's total and am happy to report over 10% up on PVGIS estimate. Not a clue on imports as I'm getting idle now and couldn't be a$$ed to check5255.gif(at least I'm honest!!)


    August started ok with my best day of the month so far with 3 O's and over 100% of PVGIS.....today doesn't look promising at all though5156.gif

    Our minimum summer leccy consumption is 450 and 950 gas so no one else needs to beat themselves up about usage of a couple of hundred kwh.
    I think....

    Interested to read about other people`s TCR`s, just worked out mine (I`ve never changed supplier in the 3 years I`ve been at my current address), Elec - 17.34, and Gas - 4.4. Maybe I should consider a change.
