    Yesterday was surprisingly good for us with 2.75 Os (21.5 kWh). Today is a different story - thank goodness for the 1kw kettle or it would be cold drinks all day.

    8 kwh into the IBoost and lowest grid consumption this year; possibly because we have fixed the IBoost so it just heats on solar and not moonlight. Also first day of the year without the boiler being turned on.
    Northern Lincolnshire. 7.8 kWp system, (4.2 kWwest facing panels , 3.6 kWeast facing), Solis inverters installed 2018, 5kW SSE facing system (shaded in afternoon) added in 2025 with Tesla PW3 battery, Mitsubishi SRK35ZS-S and SRK20ZS-S Wall Mounted A2A Heat Pumps, ex Nissan Leaf owner.

    1.56 O's yesterday, now only 64% compared to pvgis for March and today looks decidedly dull. But hey, with it being mild there's still enough generation to power a heat pump when necessary. :)
