    0.44 O's to finish the month and by far the poorest since installation at 68% of PVGIS. 
    2023 ended at 98% of PVGIS, compared with 106% for 2022. However, better average export rates and the use of lower overnight import rates have resulted in greater savings.

    34617?

    Looking at the time you posted this, I would suggest a decimal point is missing due to excess drink! :D:smile:

    December results.

    Very poor month with just 66% of target. Large spread, with 63% for the ESE and 76% for the WNW. 

    Generated 52.5kWh (9.41 O's).
    Imported 563kWh.
    Exported 15kWh.
    Total consumption 600kWh. 
    Gas was ~1,243kWh. [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 (barely any this Dec), and overnight on cheap rate. GCH is on.

    Worst December apart from 2015 (55%). Year end production 101.7%.


    Full year figures
    Generated 4,453kWh (798 O's).
    Imported 4,007kWh.
    Exported 2,269kWh (51%).
    Total consumption 6,191kWh. 
    Gas was ~6,270kWh. [GCH, DHW & oven.]
    Vehicles, both BEV's.

    Poor to middling year, 4 worse, 8 better.
    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.
