    September results. 

    Month was OK(ish), with 90% of target. Big spread, with 85% for the ESE/SSW* and 108% for the WNW.
    Year end projection ~103% 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 590kWh (67.62 O's).

    Imported 547kWh.  [Roughly 98% cheap rate]

    Exported 561kWh.

    Total consumption 576kWh.  [House and transport now fully electric. DHW 48kWh]

    Estimated leccy bill for the year, at current rates, is ~£840. Estimated export income, is ~£715. 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.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.

    Finished the month with a solid 3.62 O's yesterday.

    September came in at 83.86 O's in total (604.2kWh) of generation, 95.1% of PVGIS so just under our predicted target. We are currently at 109% of PVGIS for the year to date thanks to strong results earlier in the year.

    We generated roughly twice our consumption in September, and remain net zero (negative) for the last 12 month rolling period for both generation/consumption (-1106kWh) and cost (-£92.42).
