Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

Finished April with a nice 6.49 Os and nearly 27% above PVGIS for the month, not quite as good as last year but in the all-time top 3.

128 O’s for the month, 1kw better than April 2025 so just made it.

35% up on PVGIS so extremely happy

Well I've missed a few days reports, was enjoying the sunshine hours in Greece (and maybe the odd cocktail) and forgot to update.

6.38 O's to end the month.133% of PVGIS, 3rd best April of 5 but those top 3 were all quite close.

Happy for a bit of a catch up after a dreary start to the year, now at 112% over the first 4 months

April results. 

Month was good, with 105% of target. Small spread, with 104% for the ESE/SSW* and 109% 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 892kWh (102.23 O's).

Imported 637kWh.  [All cheap rate apart from ~15kWh]

Exported 802kWh.

Total consumption 727kWh.  [House and transport now fully electric. DHW 55kWh]

Estimated leccy bill for the next year, at current rates, is ~£550. Estimated export income, at current rates (reduced from 15p to 12p/kWh), is ~£440 to £480. Nice.

Just checked and that has been the best April in 12 years… 582.3 kWh!

Also noticed that on the 29th I generated over 28kWh (28.28 7.07 O's) which is rare, and probably the second best day in 12 years. :)

Roll on summer!

I note that in my 40 months of having my PV, this April has only been twice beaten, in June 23 and June 25 ……
