    Total generation for the month was 493.7 kWh 124.2 O's 106.5 % of Estimate

    (3rd worst) High 579.5 kWh Low 435.8 kWh

    Despite it being a poor month its still my best year so far.  2970.4 kWh

    Imported 92 kWh Exported No idea!

    Diverted 158.3 kWh

    Gave my meter readings to Octopus yesterday and somehow added 1 Mega watt to my usage! They accepted it and produced a bill. Dame near gave me a heart attack!

    Amazed they accepted it as my annual usage is 1.7 Mega watts and I had only submitted a previous reading 7 days before!

  • 2.3 O's for yesterday bringing the calendar month to a close. July averaged 4.3 O's with 7 maidens. Despite the sunny weather July yielded only 1 kWh more than June - 7% above PVGIS. 

    I have another 3 days to go before my reading is due - I'm in the fortunate/unfortunate position that the FIT cheque payment will be marginally over the limit for depositing by phone - and our local bank branch has closed. First world problems.

  • Stats for July,

    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).
