Coastalwatch said:Second best day of the month, 5.5 O's. Not only that but discovered there's a discrepency on Solaredge reporting. System Production shows 1020 kWh's while Energy this Month shows 1107 kWh's! The first being 90% of pvgis and the second 98%.So, on the slim chance that the second figure is accurate and with two good days ahead forecast we might just equal pvgis after all.

Nice wee Hawaii to end the month, 5.1 O's.
Finished the month on 109% and currently predicting 113% for the year which will be our best ever if turns out that way.Scott in Fife, 2.9kwp pv SSW facing, 2.7kw Fronius inverter installed Jan 2012 - 14.3kwh Seplos Mason battery storage with Lux ac controller - Renault Zoe 40kwh, Corsa-e 50kwh, Zappi EV charger and Octopus Go5 -

At least May and June more than made up for it!👏👏We're totally electric and imported 2123 kWh's in 2020 so far. Perhaps finishing the year around the 4k kWh's mark!ASHP's are great for keeping the wine cupboard cool.East coast, lat 51.97. 8.26kw SSE, 23° pitch + 0.59kw WSW vertical.

Ended up a good month here, to my surprise - 105% of PVGIS and 116.8 O's.
Import was 121kWh.
Consumption was 303kWh (low due to reduced BEV use/charging).
Export 470kWh.
Gas consumption ~88kWh.
Petrol, zero fills, 3/4 tank still from Mch.
Year end prediction (if average for rest of year) is 110%.
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.
