August results.
No heating but quite a few hours of A/C, all PV.
Excellent month with 121% of target. Small spread, with 119% for the ESE and 124% for the WNW.
Generated 618kWh (110.7 O's).
Imported 149kWh.
Exported 242kWh.
Consumed 525kWh.
Gas was ~66kWh.
Getting better but import and export still high. Lots of BEV driving by Wifey mostly on PV but fluctuating clouds meant an annoying amount of import. If we had a battery, import would have been zero, hmmm?
Looks like annual leccy consumption will be around 6,800kWh, up from ~3,200kWh 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.
