    3.56 O's, best day of the year. Surprising, as there was a reasonable amount of cloud today.
    Central Beds, 2.02kWp (9 x 225W) south facing with some morning shade, installed 2011 (£7.16/Wp). Tigo monitoring/optimisers on all panels, Growatt MIC 2000 TL-X Inverter and Solar iBoost installed 2022. (4 x 415W + 6 x 405W garden experiment connected to SunSynk 3.6 hybrid inverter & 2 x 5.3kWh SynSynk batteries) (4 x 405W panels queued to go somewhere)

    February results.

    Good month with 112% of target. Small spread, with 113% for the ESE and 109% for the WNW.

    Generated 183kWh (32.80 O's).
    Imported 411kWh.
    Exported 79kWh.
    Consumed 515kWh. 
    Gas was ~1,056kWh. 

    BEV driving all night rate for now, not enough PV yet.  A2A units used most days with spare PV. GCH reduced, and low(ish) for a Feb, but probably reflects mild weather more than A2A units.

    Shame about the export, especially if it could have knocked 1/4 or more off the gas, but batts still some time away as the market is so messy.

    Fun milestone ahead as Mch began needing just 302kWh's to hit 50MWh since install, and Mch target is 364kWh.

    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.
