Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

Martyn1981

February results. 

Month looks bad on paper with 61% of target. Big spread, with 57% for the ESE/SSW* and 87% for the WNW. But the WNW figure isn't impacted by battery charging losses, and will be a truer representation of the months 'real' generation. Year end projection ~97% of target. 

[*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. The rest of the PV is roof mounted, ESE & WNW, and receives some shading, but all PV is Solaredge to minimise shading losses.]

Generated 195kWh (22.35 O's).

Imported 921kWh.  [All cheap rate apart from ~20kWh]

Exported 60kWh.

Total consumption 1,056kWh.  [House and transport now fully electric. DHW 64kWh]

Estimated leccy bill for the next year, at current rates, is ~£600. Estimated export income, at current rates (reduced from 15p to 12p/kWh, is ~£440 to £480. Nice.

62% of PVGIS, worst since install. Noticed however that we have never achieved PVGIS estimate in Feb yet.

A better than expected 1.67 Os, today, although it takes another kWh to cover the standing charge.

For about 10 seconds.

I suppose 1.5 O's isn't too bad for the 1st of March.

1.69 O's to end the month.

Finished the month on 66% PVGIS. Which was 0.83 O's less than Jan.

0.87 O's today.
