Warm January, I think?
OK month with 105% of target. Wide spread, with 108% for the ESE and 93% for the WNW.
Generated 99.3kWh (17.8O's).
Imported 592kWh.
Exported 26kWh.
Consumed 665kWh.
Gas was ~1,089kWh. Low start to the year, may it continue (fingers x'd).
Import high, BEV charging is all on E7 night rate now. Also one of the heatpumps on overnight and then all day (some PV contribution), till around 4pm.
GCH approx 1.5hrs morning and then 1.5hrs 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.5 -
