    Yesterday was 0.32 O . Month totals from the Tesla gateway :

    Generated 130kWh ( 25 O )
    Home use 446kWh
    Grid consumption 341 kWh

    The sums don't add up as I didn't export 25kWh (grid consumption 341 + generation 130 = 471, which is 25 more than the house used), so I'm not sure if the gateway isn't measuring what the house uses correctly. The other two figures check out on the generation meter and the electric meter.

    Finished January on 28.03 Os, 16.6% below PVGIS and roughly in the middle as far as my Januarys go. Almost every day was truly terrible or very good, hardly any middle ground.

    Been a very poor December/January here although not quite our worst on record.
    The forecast for next week looks pretty decent from Tuesday onwards so hopefully a better start to February.
