Today was relatively good, although still lower than the PVGIS average for June.8.69kWh, 3.19 O's.For the whole of June I've generated 306kWh, 112 O's, 97.9% of PVGIS. I was expecting worse!Edit to add: for the FIT quarter I generated 963kWh, 107% of PVGIS. Thank you April

June stayed positive despite a bad last week with 105%.
Generated 684kWh (122.58 O's).
Imported 165kWh.
Exported 311kWh.
Consumed 538kWh.
Gas for June was ~100kWh.
Still can't get used to the high consumption (due to BEV's), makes me wince each month.

Still can't get used to the high consumption (due to BEV's), makes me wince each month.That maybe Mart, but of your Solar total self consumption was 78%. In contrast ours for this month was a mere 39%, so you are getting close to maximising the output of your panels!I think I'm going to separate domestic and EV monthly consumption figures just to see the comparison!
