Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

Martyn1981

November results.

Average month with 103% of target. Negligible spread, with 103% for the ESE and 102% for the WNW. 

Generated 124kWh (22.31 O's).
Imported 389kWh.
Exported 50kWh.
Total consumption 463kWh. 
Gas was ~781kWh. [GCH, DHW & oven.]

Consumption still down to a more reasonable level. All BEV charging was done overnight.  A2A units used a lot, when PV sufficient, and overnight on cheap rate. GCH is on.

5th best November, but beat last year. Year end prediction 102%.

Year end projection of ~6,200kWh of leccy consumption, including BEV's and some space heating from A2A units. Gas projection ~6,500kWh (GCH + DHW + oven).

2.78 Os yesterday. Suspect that might be the best day in December 😄😬😐🥲

I’ve also just automated my Os. 😆

using home assistant to grab the generation data at sunset+00:30 and calculate the Os from that and send me a notification. 🎉

hopefully it works as planned 🤣

1.2 O's, with Dec ave 0.84 O then off to a good start. Historically Dec varies considerably with best year at 29 O's and worst 18 O's.

Hi @pete-20-11

2.78 O's for Dec is brilliant, are there any properties nearby with south facing roof up for grabs!

November Stats

PV gen 370 kWh's, Wind, GF 431. Total 801.

Consumption  1002 kWh's, Import 648, Exp 16.

DHW 136 kWh's, ASHP's 166, EV's 247.

Freezer 29.5 kWh's, Towel Rads (3 off) 88.

That leaves 335 ish for Oven, Hob, Fridge/Freezer and other sundries not metered.

No FF's exhumed or cremated.

Pretty much bang on south facing here, nothing for sale on my road 😄

2.1 Os today. 

Electric bill so far today is -2p (excluding standing charge).

Still a good result @pete-20-11. Out of interest what pitch angle does your roof sit?

45 degrees I think

45 degrees, that helps explain, as not far off optimum for winter generation, especially on sunny days. Our roof is about half that so OK for reflected light bouncing off or through cloud but that's about all.

No sunshine today, pretty misty all day with cloud otherwise. so just 0.53 O's. Batts down to 31% but with a bit off luck will see us through until the cheaper night rate kicks in at 23.30.
