    114.5% of PVGIS in Jan for what it is worth.

    The cold spell in the SE took its toll on our monthly gas usage as expected but of late our leccy usuage seems to have goen off the scale. We are talking 30% more than same period last year with no change to domestic circumstances.

    Yes we are using the electic car for more miles than anticipated and it does lower mielage in the winter but even I think there must be another culprit.

    Could the iBoost be misbehaving and switching on when it shouldn't? It is in the loft so I don't check its diverted units meter very often so that is one thing to look at.

    Otherwise I guess it is a matter of plugging the usage meter into different appliances for 24 hours at a time and see if any are reporting ridiculous usage.

    I reckon there is at least 200 units to find.
    I think....

    After a brilliant 2.6 O`s last Fri, and then a couple of O`s over the weekend this week has been consistently sh1te.

    Averaged about 0.16 O`s this week.
    Today looks slightly more promising, mild but brighter morning.

    My 4kW system is presently producing 2.306kW through a little very high hazy cloud. There are actual clouds about so I expect the number to go down.

    Note to self. Have a look at today's total after dark.
