An underwhelming 2.4 O's today to end the month.
Finished the month at 90%, worst August to date.

Messy month end report as I had smart meters fitted and haven't been informed what the closing readings were on the old meters, and my Solaredge clamp was disconnected for a few days. So just the basics this month.
Ended up also neutral after a last minute boost of good weather, and closed at 99% of PVGIS and 91.09 O's.
Import was ???kWh.
Consumption was ???kWh.
Export ???kWh.
Gas consumption ??kWh.
Petrol, zero fills, and ICE replaced with a Hyundai Ioniq.
Year end prediction (if average for rest of year) is 109%.
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.

Another poor day to end August, just 1.95 O'sFinished the month on just 93% of PVGIS estimate but at least we managed to use 80% of it.However, because of a good April & May, still forecast to be 105.5% of PVGIS estimate for the year.Average of 6.5p/kWh for all imported electric on Octopus Agile, (been creeping up during the month with not so many low price periods).No Gas, Petrol or Diesel.4

A disappointing month ! pvgis is 403kWh but we only managed 386 (4.2% below expectations) The £222 softens the blow a little.
We now have a smart meter which includes an export register so I've been able to calculate usage proportion . Turns out we only used 40% of our generation for July & August. Shan't rush to open a SEG account though as I rather suspect we'll use a much higher proportion in the winter months.NE Derbyshire.4kWp S Facing 17.5deg slope (dormer roof).24kWh of Pylontech batteries with Lux controller BEV : Hyundai Ioniq52 -
Not a bad August, just under 10% above PVGIS, which is fairly middling based on past years.2kWp Solar PV - 10*200W Kioto, SMA Sunny Boy 2000HF, SSE facing, some shading in winter, 37° pitch, installed Jun-2011, inverter replaced Sep-2017 AND Feb-2022.3
