First full month of generation coming to an end. August has given me 575 kwh. Today heavy rain so not much to be added. Average 18.5kwh per day, average O's 3.79. Happy with that in view of very inconsistent weather.Dorset Coast ssw array (partial shade on one string until 11am) 12x .41kw Sharp panels 6.5kw Growatt Battery.3

Fairly nice day to end the month.
4.81 O's
446 kWh for the month. 109.3 % of PVGIS
114.1 % of PVGIS for the first 8 months of the year.
7th out of 10 for August total but only 13 kWh down on the System August average after 10 years.

2.95 O's to end a fairly poor August

August results.
Flat month with 101% of target. Big spread, with 97% for the ESE and 109% for the WNW.
Generated 515kWh (92.24 O's).
Imported 195kWh.
Exported 239kWh.
Total consumption 471kWh.
Gas was ~99kWh. [DHW & oven.]
Consumption still down to a more reasonable level (including BEV charging). But the very patchy weather, and rolling clouds, meant some 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 significantly, but batts still some time away as the market is so messy.
Middling August generation.
Year end projection of ~6,500kWh of leccy consumption, including BEV's and some space heating from A2A units. Gas projection ~6,400kWh.
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.

Poor end to August with 1.81 O's.Total for the month ended at 99% PVGIS. August last year was 117%.At least the forecast for next week currently looks good.6.4kWp (16 * 400Wp REC Alpha) facing ESE + 5kW Huawei inverter + 10kWh Huawei battery. Buckinghamshire.2

Still waiting for Tigo to address their reporting problems, however generation for August against estimated PVGIS was 88.5%.
With the exception of May and June, this years generation, so far, has been low when compared to 2022, with March and July being particularly disappointing.2 Separate arrays, 7 x JASolar 380w panels (2.66kWp) south facing, 4 x JASolar 380w panels (1.52kWp) east facing, 11 x Tigo optimizers & cloud, Growatt SPH5000, Growatt 6.5kWh Hybrid battery (Go-live 01/12/21) - Additional reporting via Solar Assistant.1 -

Best day for a couple of weeks - 4.7 O's. Looks like this week could be good, just a shame the days are getting shorter.
