April results.
Managed all the heating with the A/C unit, mostly PV.
Good month with 109% of target. Marginal spread, with 110% for the ESE and 106% for the WNW.
Generated 565kWh (101.25 O's).
Imported 320kWh.
Exported 299kWh.
Consumed 586kWh.
Gas was ~187kWh.
Another bad leccy month, with high import and export. Lots of BEV driving by Wifey due to family illness so some charging on E7 night rate, but more opportunities (than March) to charge on PV. Lots of heatpump use though, largely PV, no GCH, which knocked down gas consumption.
Looks like annual leccy consumption will be around 6,000kWh, 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.6 -
