    A nice wee double to end the month, 2.15 0's.
    Not quite enough to hit pvgis, although better than expected at 91% for February and just 9kwh short.

    Here too.  Just over 2 Os.  And, remarkably, ended the month 3.5% above expectations.  3 days ago I thought it would be more like 10% down!

  • Congrats with your doubles. Awful morning here, so just 1.5 O's here taking us to 111% of pvgis for the month.

    Hi All
    Despite it being a leap year with 1 extra day in February, last year's Feb PV generation total here was over 40% higher!! - this month's tally being the third worst to date ....

    So Feb closed at 110%, equal 4th (or 5th given the bonus day). Results for two months as I was a bit lazy last month.

    January:
    Generation 86kWh   15.4 O's
    Import 411kWh
    Export 22kWh
    Consumption 475kWh
    Gas ~1,650kWh
    [Petrol one fill]

    February:
    Generation 180kWh    32.3 O's
    Import 349kWh
    Export 84kWh
    Consumption 445kWh
    Gas ~1,419kWh
    [Petrol no fill]

    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.

    Not much break in the cloud today, 0.56 O's.
    Forecast looks good for the coming week or so though. Finally, a break from the storms.
