    23.6kWh today or £12.38 earnt.

    For month of May we generated 508kWh compared to pvgis forecast of 474 i.e. 34kWh or 7% above expectation. Rather makes up for the last few disappointing months.

    A real month of two halves, getting pvgis on the final day and ending at 101.7%

    Still 10 Os less than last May's blockbuster.
    I think....

    For the month of May achieved 95%. 522 vs target of 549. Now thinking of going down the ASHP route to use up the export (combi boiler situation :( )Will seek inspiration from M, Z & ASB from the other thread.

    552 kWh for the month or just under 2% down on May expectations. Imported 99kWh which is the first time ever under 100kWh. Last month was the lowest to that point at 113kWh.

    That is down to the new kitchen appliances, particularly fridge and freezer which combined use less than one of our old fridge-freezers, of which we had 3 (don't ask!). All new appliances are on tap since mid May so we could see a few more record low months.

    Should (hopefully) see annual import drop to less than 2,000kWh which compared to the pre-PV 8,000kWh per annum and actual monthly total use dropping well below the 300kWh mark at the moment means our efforts to be more energy efficient have more than halved our consumption over the last 8 years, of which we now self-provide about half as well.

    That said we have 1.6kW of electric underfloor heating in the new kitchen (tied into the immerSUN) so that will cost a few pennies in the dark months of winter - you win some and you lose some....

    Finished on 107.56% of target, so happy with that.

    So not as good as last year (63kWh down on same period) but at least in positive territory!
    4 Maidens, 6 Hawaiis - just shows the difference. No Maidens before having the Solaredge retro-fitted.

    Forecast not great for the start of the month, but bring it on :grouphug:
    4kWp, SSE, SolarEdge P300 optimisers & SE3500 Inverter, in occasionally sunny Corby, Northants.
    Now with added Sunsynk 5kw hybrid ecco inverter & 15kWh Fogstar batteries. Oh Octopus Energy too.
