Not posted for ages, but ended October on 87% of estimate. September was 88%. Worst October for me also since installation in March 2014.

Closed the month at 97%, only 2016 was better, but first Oct with SolarEdge on the ESE system which came in at 101% v's 89% for WNW.
Leccy import 152kWh, up about 10 on previous years, not bad considering extensive use of ASHP, so most use must have been from PV. Total consumption 236kWh's, but low gas consumption.
End of year looks like 98%, though loss of a power optimiser on the WNW probably cost me 2% last year, and again this year, before I noticed.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.
