    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). 20kWh 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.

    8.24 O's per day, but still somewhat overly impressive!  ;)
