    I said I'd come back for the month end figures.
    July has been a dreadful month: 91% PVGIS - that's like missing 3 days entirely; 469kWh or 105.8 O's.
    Compare that with April: 102% PVGIS, 480kWh, 108.2 O's

    And to cap it all yesterday was the worst since 28 March.

    Poor day to end a poor month: 1.77 O's
    July ended at 85% of PVGIS estimate and 80% of July last year.
    On the positive side, at least we haven't had heatwaves, droughts and wild fires.

    July results.

    Bad month with 93% of target. Big spread, with 88% for the ESE and 102% for the WNW. 

    Generated 575kWh (103.12 O's).
    Imported 179kWh.
    Exported 329kWh.
    Total consumption 425kWh. 
    Gas was ~88kWh. [DHW & oven.]

    Consumption still down to a more reasonable level (including BEV charging). But the very patchy weather, and rolling clouds, meant a lot of BEV charging was done overnight.  A2A units not needed during the month.

    Just a small(ish) batt of 4-5kWh, probably would have reduced import to zero(ish), but batts still some time away as the market is so messy.

    Worst July generation, since install.

    Year end projection of ~6,500kWh of leccy consumption, including BEV's and some space heating from A2A units. Gas projection ~6,000kWh.
    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.
