    Finished August with 4.3 Os and an August total of 126.55 Os, 23.5% above PVGIS and comfortably beating my previous best August. If this September is as good as last year it will be one of my best quarters.

    Yup, and all renewable energy, 140 kWh's solar and 6.15 from energy supplier Bulb.
    Coincidentally, Shell Energy had four salesman at a pitch in the town centre today, one of whom asked if I might be interested in purchasing our energy requirements from them. I said "certainly, but on the condition that you agree to take all my excess and then supply it back when I needed it for a small administration charge naturally". He sort of lost interest after that!;)

    Best August with 584kWh and 112% of target.
    Year end prediction now at 105% and 15kWh above best ever (2014) if the rest of the year is average.
    Import 99kWh.
    Export 443kWh.
    Consumption, an eye watering 240kWh, but we've had the living room A/C on pretty much all month due to foster kitty containment protocols!!
    Gas consumption ~66kWh (6 units).

    Overall, no surprises, and still fun 96 months and 34MWh's in.
    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.
