You are not alone young Man 1.04 O's here and todaylegoman62 said:Damp squib day here today. 0.85 O's today😖🤮
2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.
Reg. for FIT Nov 2011. "It's not what you generate; it's how you use it that matters". One very clean Vauxhall Diesel Sri, £30.00 Road Tax:
Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).5 -
Very warm February, low heating.
Average month with 103% of target. Narrow spread, with 103% for the ESE and 104% for the WNW.
Generated 170kWh (30.5 O's).
Imported 404kWh.
Exported 57kWh.
Consumed 517kWh.
Gas was ~539kWh. 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 during the day (mostly PV).
GCH approx 20mins morning and then 30mins 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 -
@Martyn1981 are you sure about that import figure? It's 70% of your estimate for the whole year?

Congratulations, you passed the test, I'll send you a chocolate watch as a prize, or a pint in a jiffy bag!QrizB said:@Martyn1981 are you sure about that import figure? It's 70% of your estimate for the whole year?
Thanks, yeah snuck an extra digit in there, should have been 404 not 4074. Perhaps inverse irony at the infamous 404 error?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.

Another beautiful day with a few clouds coming and going. House empty from 11:00am so apart from 5.29 kWh diverted to i-Boost most went back to the grid today.
