I have used 95.544 kW since the start of June...with a small heater running when available on surplus PV..thanks due to my OptiPlug..
Consumer meter has only increased by 25 kW...represents a 73.83% saving on bills. Having said that, I would not have the heater on if I thought that I would have to pay for it......
5.04 O's here today, cloudy all morning, did not clear until around 15:00. :mad:2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.

Last two days were very good giving me 30.1 and 25.8 kWh's (or 5.39 & 4.62 O's). Sunday interesting, as the poor start boosted the WNW results (more light bouncing down over the roof onto the panels). Got 12.1kWh's from them, and I estimated a theoretical max of 12 last year - so I was talking rubbish'ish!
Next week to 10 days looks like rain and more rain, good for the water butts, all ran dry on Sunday. But bad news for the 'nutty - will I see' 700kWh month target for June (real target is 634). After above average for every day of June so far, currently forecasting 720 (114%) if the rest of the month is average. No chance with the incoming weather, oh well!
But fingers crossed for a +% month, as that would be the first 2 in a row since Feb and Mch 2012.
Mart.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.

Thursday 19.6kWh (5.3 O's)
Friday 13.7kWh (3.7 O's)
Saturday 24.6kWh (6.6 O's)
Sunday 21.7kWh (5.9 O's)
Monday 13.6kWh (3.7 O's)
Drizzle today, good for the garden and water butt if it gets a bit heavier. Forecast doesn't look too good for the rest of the weekCider Country Solar PV generator: 3.7kWp Enfinity system on unshaded SE (-36deg azimuth) & 45deg roof0 -
