March results.
Awful month with 77% of target. Very large spread, with 72% for the ESE and 90% for the WNW.
Generated 281.1kWh (50.38 O's).
Imported 561kWh.
Exported 135kWh.
Total consumption 707kWh.
Gas was ~671kWh. [GCH, DHW & oven.]
Consumption very high, but some extra driving, and the A2A used throughout cheap rate each night, probably accounts for ~100kWh. All BEV charging was done overnight. A2A units used a lot during the day, when PV sufficient. GCH is off, but not until about the 10th, so more gas consumption than I would have liked.
2nd worst Mch result, only beaten by 2017 at 4kWh less, and 2018 generated 6kWh more than this year.
Currently projecting 97% for the year, which would 'beat' 2017 which was 99%.
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.4 -
