    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!;)
    Looks like V2H can't come soon enough for you?

    .....or you need to get out more!;)

    I suspect you're correct on both counts. I blame Mart and Zeupater entirely.:o
    Oh.......... gas consumption was down to 11 kWh's for the month. Down from 90 last year!
    I know, there's no hope for some.:D

    Home now so able to work out accurate figures for August.
    Generation 780.75 kW or 100.1 Os
    106% of PVGIS v5
    Net import 125 kWh
    Year to date generation 4832 kWh - 98.4% of PVGIS
    YTD net import 2100 kWh split 1403 kWh day and 697 kwh E7 (we don’t have gas)

  • With it still being daylight but SolarEdge showing zero generation than I guess I'm fairly safe in posting figures for today of 4.4 O's. :)

    Haven't been around for a while due to various things but time for the end of the month report. This is the first complete calendar month I've had the powerwall installed alongside the solar so the first that I've got all the numbers collected for me by the monitoring software built into the powerwall gateway.

    Total solar generation was 622 kWh = 119.6 O. (114% of PVGIS)
    Total home consumption over the month = 438 kWh
    of which 212kWh came from the powerwall
    and 26.5 kWh from the grid. The remainder direct from the sun


    4.87 O yesterday
