    I thought 1.01 O's was bad until I read the above results. Worst day since 30th March.
    91% of PVGIS for September. First month below estimate.

  • I could say that was a poor Sept but it was my first with solar so I've had nothing to compare against.

    325kw made
    100kw exported
    230kw consumumed

    So only 5kw of grid use which is excellent, I can't complain.
    We made a real effort to reduce our consumption this month and have managed to reduce it by around 100kw for the month.

    Here's hoping for a similar Oct.

    Not a bad September at 2.7% above PVGIS, roughly in the middle of my results over the years. The July to September quarter as a whole, which is what I get paid for, was my second best ever, just shy of 2018.
    2kWp Solar PV - 10*200W Kioto, SMA Sunny Boy 2000HF, SSE facing, some shading in winter, 37° pitch, installed Jun-2011, inverter replaced Sep-2017 AND Feb-2022.

    2.37 today which isn't a bad start, I need to average 1.4 to meet PVGIS. 

    September stats as follows:

    309kWh generated
    202.98kWh exported at an average 27p
    190.84 imported at an average 34.5p

    £37.11 saving vs importing that same energy from the grid, SEG is worth £54.73

    Gas usage appears to be 239kWh
     
    4.29kWp Solar system, 45/55 South/West split in cloudy rainy Cumbria.
