4.55 O's for a sound start to the month.

Dull day and and a rather poor 2.55 O's

5.59 O's for 30th May. Best ever since install, 6.8
May was 6.6% below average for me having generated 878 kWhrs (123.3 O's), imported 186 kWhrs (up 43% on May 2025) and exported 633 kWhrs (105 less than May 2025)
I do my energy accounting cycle from April to March (to synch with FiT rate change) and a tad early to predict, however last period my total energy cost for the year was £175. Four bed detached with under floor heating across most of ground floor, and built in air conditioning since Spring 2024. 22p import, 12p export and no battery as I still haven't found a solution that RoI's significantly within warranty. Now waiting for V2X (V2H + V2G).

A more respectable 3.8 Os after some afternoon sun came to the rescue.

3.98 Os tonight. Surprising given the weather.
PPI success. Banding success. Double Dip PCN cancelled! South facing solar (Midlands) and battery. Savings Session supporter (is it worth it now!?)6 -
4.91 O's today, mostly exported as we weren't in.
Then at the end of the day the Powerwall decided to do a recalibration and dumped all it's charge at 4pm, which the grid must have loved, just in time to leave me with an empty battery for the evening.
