June Summary:
651kWh generated ( 125 O , 102% PVGIS)
492 kWh home consumption, of which
51kWh came from the grid and 206 kWh from the powerwall.
In a week it will be the anniversary of the powerwall installaiton, so I will have a full year of data for solar PV + Powerwall to compare with both the predictions made by the supplier and work out how much grid consumption I have saved. It's not going to be a typical year with May being exceptional and over three months working from home, but interesting nonetheless.Proud member of the wokerati, though I don't eat tofu.Home is where my books are.Solar PV 5.2kWp system, SE facing, >1% shading, installed March 2019.Mortgage free July 20233 -
