0.09, rubbish end to the year.
Total generation for December 51.1kWh, bit short of PVGIS prediction of 72.6kWh4.29kWp Solar system, 45/55 South/West split in cloudy rainy Cumbria.3 -
Best day of the last 15 = 0.5 O's today😄
December total 43.5 kWh, worst month....ever.🤬
2021 total 3466.6 kWh. 3rd worst year of the last 10!🤔16 Sanyo Hit 250s.4kWp SMA 3.8kWp inverter. SW roof. 28° pitch. Minimal shade. Nov 2011 install. Hybrid car. Ripple Kirk Hill. N.E Lincs Coast.6 -

Best day in eight here, better late than never! 0.85 O's, marginally above average for Dec which returned a meagre 69% of pvgis and in turn finishing the year at 96.7%. Poorest year since install in 2018, but 96.7% better than having no PV at all.

A decent 0.97 O’s here, the 6th best day of the month. Full stats tomorrow - happy new year everyone! 🍺3

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

After an awful December an encouraging start to '22 with 0.82 O's, so approaching mediocre.

Best day of January and would you believe the best day of the year!3.795 kWp Solar PV System. Capital of the Wolds5 -
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.3
