Hazy sun most of the day.

Hawaii + 0.3 O's

5.88 O's yesterday with the unusually high temperatures and lack of a breeze having a bit of an impact on generation. Still, shouldn't complain.

Another sunny day. Far from perfect curve. Peak production 3.06 kWp. More than happy with the result.

Hawaii + 0.89 O's

Ended up with 138 O's. 132.9% of PVGIS

2nd best of April of 11.

Still struggling to get another 6.

Can't grumble about 5.8 Os though.

Not quite made a Maiden here yet either, so close 5.94 O's today.

Best April of 4 by far, 132% of PVGIS.

Actually the 2nd best month ever since install, only beaten by Jun 23!

6.1 Os here, a third consecutive Maiden

I know it can't last forever, but it's nice while it does!

Apr results. 

Lovely month with 107% of target. Big spread, with 104% for the ESE/SSW* and 121% for the WNW. 

[*2.1kWp SSW ground mount is steep pitched for winter, and sits between a large tree to the SE and the house to the SW, so will incurr some shading throughout Apr-Sep.]

Generated 915kWh (104.87 O's).
Imported 25kWh.
Exported 374kWh.
Total consumption 566kWh. 
Gas was ~88kWh. [DHW & oven.]

Consumption reasonable(ish). BEV charging all PV. One small home battey charge needed, plus some leccy that sneaks through so 25kWh from import/cheap rate early in the month. GCH is still off, and with a full winter behind us, I'm happy it's no longer needed. So combi to come out, and a HW tank (leccy powered) to go in.

Looks like this Apr is inline with previous Apr's leccy consumption. But gas consumption is down about 100kWh from previous Apr's. 

Thought I might add on bills with a running total for the year (doesn't include any export/FiT monies):

Leccy for the month  £4.60 + SC £15.31    Running total = £220.23
Gas for the month  £5.72 + SC £9.21    Running total = £55.69
Petrol .... £0.00


Edit - Unasked, a while back Octopus reduced our monthly DD from £150pm to £77pm after we got the PV upgrade and home batts. This month, again without my asking, they've reduced it to £55pm. They do appear to be on the ball.

Finished the month with 6.17 Os and an impressive 143.57 Os for the month, 31.7% above PVGIS, my best April ever and I think my second best month ever, beaten only by June 2023.

5.88 O's today so taking this April's total to 117% of pgvis, 147 O's, the best since install in 2018 and seventh best overall.
