Warm October, I think?
Average month with only 101% of target. Small spread, with 102% for the ESE and 101% for the WNW.
Generated 234kWh (41.94O's).
Imported 388kWh.
Exported 128kWh.
Consumed 493kWh.
Gas was ~88kWh.
Import picking up steadily as the PV covered less and less of BEV charging, almost all on E7 night rate now. Also consumption has increased with one of the heatpumps on overnight, then all day (some PV contribution), till around 5pm. Managed to not put the GCH on yet, but any day now, so gas consumption still artificially low.
Looks like annual leccy consumption will be around 5,500kWh, up from ~3,000kWh prior to BEV's and small heatpumps.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.5 -
