    0.09, rubbish end to the year.

    Total generation for December 51.1kWh, bit short of PVGIS prediction of 72.6kWh

    Looks like of the 51kWh generated I exported 16kWh which gives me a self use percentage of 59%

    I thought that would be a little higher considering some of the really low generation days where I must have used 99% of it.

    With that in mind, 35kWh * 20p = a saving of £7

    Decent start here as well with 0.77 O’s and a few sunny few days to look forward to.

    December saw 76.5 kW generated, 87% of my PVGI target. 62% of this was used, 36% to the battery and 2% exported.

    Total import from the grid - 631kW
    Total export - 2kW

    Average price paid = 6.4p per Kw. 

    Using my 15.78p peak rate my solar has saved me £7.48 and my battery has saved me £42 in its first month. This is based on the actual discharge amount.
