5.38 and 5.63 O's to end the month at 93% of PVGIS, which is actually better than last year (85%).

July results.
Average(?) month with 92% of target. Wide spread, with 84% for the ESE and 109% for the WNW. [Inverter on ESE down last 2 days of July, est 99% for month if that hadn't happened.]
Generated 575kWh (103.05 O's).
Imported 21kWh.
Exported 146kWh.
Total consumption 450kWh.
Gas was ~77kWh. [DHW & oven.]
Consumption reasonable (at last). All BEV charging was done with PV. GCH is off.
Joint worst July result (with 2023), but due to production issues not weather.
Currently projecting 90% for the year, which would 'beat' our worst year 2017 which was 99%.
[Turns out the issue of the 2nd battery not talking to the inverter was actually the other way around. Both batteries happy to communicate, but the new inverter could only chat with one. New inverter should arrive tomorrow, and hopefully +3kWp of panels too. Should shake up all the results going forward.]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.
