    Cracking end to the month here with 1.65 O’s. 127.5kW generated in January, 134% of PVGI expectation. 

    Also just received email off Octopus increasing export rate to 4.1p/kWh. Happy days 😀
    Solar install Aug 2021, Lancashire
    4.74kW array, 4.6kW Solis inverter. SSW roof. 21° pitch. No shading. Pigeon Proofed.
    12 x 395W Jinko Tiger panels 
    Powerwall install Nov 21

    Octopus Go Faster tariff - 3 hours @ 4.5p/kW 20:30-23:30 and 15.78p/kW peak rate 

  • Best production day since installation - 3.73 Os. That gives me 127% of PVGIS. I hope this continues... although the forecast for February is looking grey.

    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).

    Another great day here, hope its been the same for everyone.
    Good, but not as good as yesterday and no-where near as good as yours!
    5.90kWh, 2.17 O's :smile: 
    Totals for January: 84kWh generated (30.75 O's, 94% of PVGIS), 219kWh imported, 17kWh exported. Plus 134m3 of gas (vs. 162m3 for January 2021).
    Plus, I've fitted a Zigbee smart switch to my immersion heater. If gas is more expensive than offpeak Octopus Go from April, I'll be heating water electrically.
