    0.21 O today, a fair reflection of the dull weather.

    Rounding off the year with a mere 0.2 Os but a December total of 2% above PVGIS and my second-best (after last year) annual total of 5.8% above PVGIS, very happy with that. Happy New Year! :beer:

    December closed at 103% of target, with 2019 ending on 106% and BYE (best year ever), with 835 O's (not bad for E/W).*

    Leccy for the year was on course for lowest, but took a BEV turn in Nov and Dec, and ended up with 2x my highest Dec (since PV) with 497kWh (import 434kWh), and a year end of 3,421kWh consumption (import 2,091kWh).

    Gas (heating, DHW and oven) for the year was pretty decent at ~7,400kWh.

    *I did have the ESE systems 'Solaredged' a couple of years back, so that might explain the BYE for 2019, and also (fingers crossed) explains the 12 (and counting) cable ties that the kittens/small cats have brought in through the catflap so far since they earned 'garden visitation rights'.
    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.
