£9.30 today (19.2 kWh) :dance:
Already 120 kWh this month :dance:0 -
£2.81 yesterday (5.8 kWh)
Still, now nearly 100 kWh over annual estimate with 3 months to go. What a difference the last 2 or so months have made for me.
Hmm, where should I re-invest my soon to arrive £715 .... :dance:

My spreadsheet is forecasting over 100 kWh over the annual estimate, but there is still 3 months to go.
Ie. if the next 3 months are 'average' I will be 100 kWh over the annual estimate.
Between March and June I was 140-150 kWh below forecast annual estimate.
July & August have been my 2 best ever months in regard to 'highest kWh over estimate'0 -

Thanks understand now..... I dont "count my chickens" LOL but mine looks like it will be about the average as I had a very poor Jan to March3.995kWP SSW facing.

I was below average Oct 2012 - Mar 2013 inclusive.
It's only because of the previous 2 months, and so far *fingers crossed* this month that I've bounced back so strongly.
I've got quite a comprehensive spreadsheet, made for fun and 'history' in case needed in the future ie. selling my home.
Obviously weather changes, but it's interesting the ROI has been more or less consistent in the forecast. I expected a ROI of 7ish years from advice of others, but my spreadsheet is saying 5.5 years.
I wonder if I should include the re-investment of payments etc to make it even more impressive :dance:0 -
Wow, we've created a monster:rotfl: Glad to see someone else becoming a bit more anoraky:beer:
