0.48 O's today and 111% of PVGIS for the month. Forecast shows at least another week of this miserable weather.

November results.
Very average month with 99% of target. Small spread, with 101% for the ESE and 94% for the WNW.
Generated 120kWh (21.51 O's).
Imported 430kWh.
Exported 43kWh.
Consumed 507kWh.
Gas was ~605kWh.
Getting better but import and export still high. BEV driving all night rate now. A2A units used when PV spare, but also being used (on expensive day rate leccy) as a good alternative to heating the whole house with GCH.
Looks like annual leccy consumption will be around 6,800kWh, up from ~3,200kWh prior to BEV's and small heatpumps.
Doing more BEV mileage than we did with the ICEV, so much fun.
Looks like 107% for the year, with 105.5% in the bag.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.
For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.4 -
December has started as November finished. Dull and damp and cold.
0.176 O's
Even with such a low start its still only my 3rd worst December 1st!
As predicted November was my worst ever.
Finished on 103 kWh (25.91 O's) 65.2% of PVGIS (Worst ever % of any month since installed)
Still my best year and up to 119.2% of PVGIS for the 11 months of the year.
