Not a great month here, - 93% of PVGIS and 38.5 O's.
Import was 264kWh.
Consumption was 401kWh.
Export 78kWh.
Gas consumption ~693kWh.
No petrol anymore. But about 40kWh of supercharging.
Year end prediction (if average for rest of year) is 110%. [Already hit annual target. 35kWh shy of best year ever.]
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 -
Finished our worst October, since install, on 83.5% of PVGIS estimate, but we managed to use 98.7% of it.
Now forecast to be 104.6% of PVGIS estimate for what is already our best year since install.Average of 8.21p/kWh for all imported electric on Octopus Go Faster.Octopus Watch estimates it would have been 9.53p/kWh, if still on Agile, for our usage profile.Just 39kWh of gas used, compared with 305kWh last October, by using the lounge heat pump more & having the new one in the kitchen.No Petrol or Diesel.
