May results.
Poor month with 90% of target. Wide spread, with 85% for the ESE and 100% for the WNW. [But some power optimisers down on the ESE side.]
Generated 567.3kWh (101.67 O's).
Imported 231kWh.
Exported 337kWh.
Total consumption 461kWh.
Gas was ~99kWh. [DHW & oven.]
Consumption reasonable (at last). Most BEV charging was done overnight. GCH is off.
Worst May result, beating 2014 by 34kWh.
Currently projecting 93% for the year, which would 'beat' our worst year 2017 which was 99%.
Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh 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.3 -
