    Great comeback for September, ended at 99% of target with a lovely 384kWh's.

    Imported 119kWh and total consumed was 213kWh. Now that i have export figures and can calculate consumption it looks like we use around 220kWh's per month, or 300kWh's if a lot of heat pump use (& July A/C). Predicting around 3,200kWh consumption pa, so a bit more than my old guesses of 3,000, but probably lower than I'd thought given I'm using the ASHP now for some heating and cooling.
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.
