Good August here, 543kWh and 108% of target, looking back, it's very similar to 2 & 3 years ago:
2011 196 (part month and one system)
2012 491
2013 547
2014 545
2015 464
Import was 85kWh, with a potential 1,500kWh year on the cards, slowly coming down from 1,600 when PV was installed (3,000 before).
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.

Hi All,
Its been a while, had a great August 117% of target, but having said that still there were 10 days where I was well below target.
What has been your best month this year, May was great for me in terms of overall generation 442kwhs - highest since install but in June I missed target.
So far this year I'm over 2.5kw from my 3.5kw system, so hopeful I can hit target.0 -
