    Any of you have real time wattage on this sunny winter day? Curious to see what I should expect when I get my install!
    I peaked at 2.2kW about an hour ago which I celebrated by pumping some water then putting on our 1kW kettle. Alas, before the kettle boiled the sky clouded in and we're now back to generating 80W.

    Do you guys have any cool devices to monitor how much of generated power you're using? I've found the OWL intuition PV but don't want to shell out another £70 when I already have Loop energy monitoring! Loop very sadly doesn't have the capacity to add another device where I can gauge my export levels.

    that's pretty sweet. both appear to need a hub and a reading device? That adds up to over the £70 odd quid for the owl?

    Sixth full year figures from Bedfordshire.

    2.5kWp Hyundai panels, SMA 2500HF, SE, no shading.



    Yr 6 - Actual 2319kWh
    Yr 5 - Actual 2384kWh
    Yr 4 - Actual 2475kWh
    Yr 3 - Actual 2461kWh
    Yr 2 - Actual 2312kWh
    Yr 1 - Actual 2395kWh

    MCS 2146kWh

    Seemed quite a dismal late summer - but still a tiny bit better than Yr 2!
