My meter auto toggles between import, bill amount and export readings. I just subtract last months reading to give me this months.Spies said: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!2 -
Warm November, I think?
Good month with 115% of target. Wide spread, with 118% for the ESE and 106% for the WNW.
Generated 139kWh (24.91O's).
Imported 449kWh.
Exported 55kWh.
Consumed 533kWh.
Gas was ~750kWh.
Import picking up steadily as the BEV charging is all on E7 night rate now. Also consumption has increased with one of the heatpumps on overnight and then all day (some PV contribution), till around 5pm.
GCH been on for Nov, approx 50mins morning and then 50min early evening.
Looks like annual leccy consumption will be around 5,700kWh, 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). 28kWh 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 -
