For me, February was 17.5% over the PVGIS. I can't tell how much exported as just before installation my supplier went bust and I've been moved to Shell Engery. They can't give me a bill yet and it's been 4 months. Smart meter for electricity not working either, so in a bit of a black hole.5.2kW (13 x Hyundai 400w), SSE, Central Bedfordshire.
