Ended up a good month here, - 112% of PVGIS and 78.1 O's.
Import was 283kWh.
Consumption was 436kWh (high due to BEV use/charging).
Export 176kWh.
Gas consumption ~154kWh.
No petrol anymore.
Year end prediction (if average for rest of year) is 111%. [Already hit annual target.]
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.6 -

First day yesterday of obsessively checking 5.5kwh produced, 4.5kw system on a 3.7 inverter. Not bad considering it was bad weather. On 6.5kwh today so far, much better weather.4

A poor day to end September, just 0.46 OFinished the month on 110.3% of PVGIS estimate and we managed to use 93.3% of it.Now forecast to be 104.9% of PVGIS estimate for the year.Average of 7.44p/kWh for all imported electric on Octopus Go Faster (Calculated it would have been just under 10p/kWh on Agile for our usage profile).No Gas, Petrol or Diesel.
