    Another poor day to end August, just 1.95 O's :s
    Finished 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.

    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.

    Not a bad August, just under 10% above PVGIS, which is fairly middling based on past years.
