Dull overcast day. Think the sun decided it wanted a day off!
3.11 O's 5th worst day of the month.
Ended the month on 549.7 kWh = 138.3 O's
119.3 % of PVGIS
Actually turned into my 2nd best June out of 9
Best ever first 6 months of the year. 2476.3 kWh
Diverted to I-Boost 176.8 kWh
Electricity Imported from the Grid 76.4 kWh.
Gas Used 35.9 kWh. Mostly for cooking.
No idea what was exported as I can't monitor it.
Overall it turned into a good month.

2.63 which was enough to be completely self sufficient today so pleased with that.
For the 21 days in June since install I averaged 20kW per day and still only 69kW short of the PVGIS target.

Practically the same here, averaged about 21 kWh/day since install on the 21 June. Even on a dull day like today the battery is full. We only seem to import more than a tiny amount when using the hob/oven as presumably it draws more than the batteries can supply.EcoScruples said:2.63 which was enough to be completely self sufficient today so pleased with that.

Late sunshine here gave a steady 4.78 O's. A decent 114% PVGI's for June

I have a similar experience with grid pull, my average grid use per day is now 280w this is mostly the shower that runs at 4.5kw so 1.3kw over the inverter rating and also tiny amounts of grid pull when I kettles, ovens, microwaves etc go on and off and the battery balances the discharge. I can live with that.ed110220 said:
