Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

We have just sneaked in our PVGIS predicted total at the end of the month. A sunny late afternoon saved us, otherwise we were looking to be 1-2kWh short. No complaints, 460kWh for the month at 126.2 Os

Hot. Damn hot.

16.3 kWh, 5.99 Os - cheated of a Maiden 😂

378 kWh for the month, 120% of PVGIS.

1607 kWh YTD, 121% of PVGIS.

This has been my best first half of a year on record (noting that there's quite a big gap on my records!)

All subject to amendment when I reconcile my generation meter with my inverter app. But that's usually only a couple of %.

6.85 O's which is the second best day of the year.

Total for month is 27% over PVGIS so very happy with that.

In May and June I have already generated nearly a third of my yearly estimate (the two months make up a target of a quarter from my estimate).

5.7 O's to finish the month

716.8kWh, 128% PVGIS, best ever month since install.

23% over PVGIS for the year so far.

June results. 

Nice month with 97% of target. Wide spread, with 97% for the ESE/SSW* and 109% 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 983kWh (112.66 O's).
Imported 251kWh.
Exported 808kWh.
Total consumption 426kWh. 
Gas was ~66kWh. [DHW & oven.]

Import and consumption reasonable, as it includes BEV charging.

First full month of metered export was fun. Earned ~£120 so well above full month leccy and gas bill of ~£47.

5.76 O's for the last day of the month. 99% of PVGIS. Surprisingly, the worst June since installation. Affected by too many cloudy mornings.

Same for me too, to many cloudy days, to much heat and an issue with the TIGO CCA going into 'safe' mode and restricting or stopping generation. Only 83% of total projected PVGIS, south array was 100% East array was 47%

Interesting how much it varies across a relatively small area. Ours was the 2nd best June in the last 13 years and only marginally below the best ever from last year. Heat didn't help nor did the lack of rain to wash the panels.  Had our highest ever quarterly FIT payment thanks to the last 3 months but with RPI that should always be increasing. Now at 2/3 of our yearly total and still 3 normally good months to go.

Delighted to get my highest ever FiT payment from Octopus only hours after reporting generation

1.329 O’s 

If it was December the panels would be siphoning the grid by now
