    Scores for November, slightly skewed by adding the powerwall for the last few days....

    PV generated 135.85kW (99% PVGI), average daily O = 0.96

    Imported - 457kW

    Exported - 58kW

    % PV used 57%

    Adding the battery makes the goal now is to have minimal export and highest possible import percentage at Go faster rate of 4.5p

    Blue sky this morning! Happy December everyone :)

    How do you track export? I know my smart meter will but I'd have to wait for a bill from Octopus to see the credits, I can only estimate my export with my CT clamp which gets confused as to which direction electricity is flowing!

    By pressing buttons on the meter,  it should be possible to access the export register - although unless you do that every half hour you won't be able to track earnings.
