June results.
Month was good, with 97% of target. Small spread, with 95% for the ESE/SSW* and 104% 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 985kWh (112.89 O's).
Imported 574kWh. [Roughly 98% cheap rate]
Exported 828kWh.
Total consumption 731kWh. [House and transport now fully electric. DHW 49kWh]
Estimated leccy bill for the year, at current rates, is ~£550. Estimated export income, at current rates (reduced from 15p to 12p/kWh), is ~£440 to £480. Nice.
Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.
