    quod erat demonstrandum

    In English.

    We all have a monthly estimate.

    Lets say mine is 500 kWh = E
    So 1% would be 5 kWh
    June has 30 days so a daily estimate would be 1/30th
    daily estimate = 16.66 kWh
    1 days production is 24.78 kWh = Q

    Q / E = D

    24.78 / 500 = 0.04956

    D = 4.956 % of monthly estimate.
