Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

pete-20-11

I've not worked out my pvgis yet, but electric for the month was -£1 in total (incl vat and SC).

However gas heating has been on a bit, so total is circa £18. Still not too bad!

September results. 

Very poor month with 73% of target. Wide spread, with 71% for the ESE/SSW and 86% for the WNW. 

Generated 484kWh (55.47 O's).
Imported 292kWh.
Exported 210kWh.
Total consumption 566kWh. 
Gas was ~77kWh. [DHW & oven.]

Consumption reasonable. BEV charging was a mix of PV and cheap rate. GCH is still off.

Worst Sep result, but as well as poor weather, I had work done to batts, so inverter off at times, and some clipping.

Currently projecting 88% for the year, which would 'smash' our worst year 2017 which was 99%.

[Issues with upgraded system now hopefully sorted, but late in month. Looks like Oct will be my first proper test of all the toys. Hope to reduce daytime import to a minimum, perhaps ~10kWh sneaking past the batts/inverter. But time will tell. If all goes to plan, then almost all leccy will now be PV, or cheap rate.]

Nearly a whole O here, 0.97.

Edit. Pvgis at 97% too. Lowest Sept figure apart from one when Inverter packed up!

My September figures were not great, 9.2% below PVGIS and my second worst September (not counting the year the inverter failed), beaten only by 2013 (slightly). Looking at the quarter as a whole it's one of the worst as well, if it hadn't been for a sunny August it would have been by far the worst.
