    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
    Just 26.5kWh from the grid is an excellent result. It looks as if you may have enough headroom to get through September with similar numbers.:cool:
    4kWp (black/black) - Sofar Inverter - SSE(141°) - 30° pitch - North Lincs
    Installed June 2013 - PVGIS = 3400
    Sofar ME3000SP Inverter & 5 x Pylontech US2000B Plus & 3 x US2000C Batteries - 19.2kWh

    Poor day here today... 3.45 O's...::mad:..:eek:
    2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.
    Reg. for FIT Nov 2011. "It's not what you generate; it's how you use it that matters". One very clean Vauxhall Diesel Sri, £30.00 Road Tax: B)

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