    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).

    Great month, got 678kWh and 108% of target. Just short of best year (2018 694kWh), as the month ended with a lot of poor days.

    West beat East by quite a lot 112% v's 106%.

    Import 84kWh
    Export 547.6kWh
    Consumption 214.4kWh - not bad considering quite a bit of ASHP during the cold air temps at the start of May. Certainly putting doubts on my old assumptions that we were consuming 7 to 7.5kWh per day in the Summer, so will be interesting to see June/July results if A/C not used much.
    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.

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

    My May figures (using PVGIS Climate-SAF)
    'Target' : 474kWh
    Actual : 498kWh
    So 5% better than PVGIS.
    Should be something around £270 earnt.
