    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).

    Interesting year 2019. As already mentioned, second best generation to date, some 2.4% above the amount predicted in my installation quote. Also the lowest import ever at 1,534kWh and lowest total household consumption ever at 3,291kWh.

    We have managed to reduce total household consumption every year since I started keeping records in 2009 when leccy imported was 7,700kWh. At 3,291kWh, consumption for 2019 is 57% down on 2009, i.e. over an 11-year period. Import over that period has dropped by 80%, partly of course as a result of installing the PV.

    I keep saying it must level off but then we go and consume less again in the following year. But seriously it must level off soon... Here's to an interesting(er) 2020 :beer::beer::beer:

    Fantastic increase from Tuesday, in fact an infinite increase heralding a great transition to the new year. How's that for looking to the upside?

    Alternatively, so bad I had to post it, 0.1kWh or a mighty 0.018 O's. The only way is up. :)
    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.
