Well my month end is up and I've managed 674kWh over my combination of arrays compared to PVGIS estimates of 701kWh(96% of PVGIS). Considering the last weeks weather I have to say that I'm quite pleased to say the least. My ESE did actually do 101% PVGIS which can only mean the mornings have been somewhat better than the afternoons as they haven't faired so well.


Still imported 206kWh which is basically evening/night use in our house and the gas meter advanced 12 units on the dial(just cannot be bothered to work out the kWh)


Just over £255 from the FiT to come from May.

Well, that's May finished with.

Talk about highs and lows. I've had best ever day at 28.5kWh.....
To lowest at 2.6kWh.

Finished the month on 492kWh, which was 108% of pvgis. All things considered I can't complain.

Imported only 175kWh of electric and 7 units(78kWh) of gas.

Weather forecast looks decent for tomorrow. I'm looking forward to seeing a bit of sun, after the last week of continual rain.

I can say if it hadn't have been for the two awful days earlier this week, and similarly dismal 4 days last week, I would've achieved over 100% of PVGIS.
Here's my figures:

Total: 380.09 kWh (PVGIS estimate @ 400 kWh) equating to 95%

Best day: 21st, 21.16 kWh
Worst day: 1st, 1.71 kWh (and the worst since install at the end of Feb)

I imported just 92 kWh this month.
I've not been in this house a year yet, but recall rough figures at my old place of around 170-190 units/month (I'm a gadget fan so have a number of electronic items on standby, a small server on 24/7, etc), and I have acquired a few more since moving into here, so I'm pleased at the almost 50% cut in use, during these lighter months.

...and received my first FiT cheque today of £157

2.16 O's or 8.7 kWh yesterday.

May total = 483.7 kWh. 14 kWh less than May 12 and 13:(

May = 94.88% of PVGIS...appox:D

May was a funny sort of month ! Started incredibly well but went downhill after middle.

My total of 465 kWh is actually (just) above the pvgis forecast so I've no real complaint but am still a tad disappointed that it was no match for 2012 or 2013. But realistically, even on the very worst day we generated more than the 2.5kWh that is needed to replace the lost ISA interest and indeed the same 'test' shows that we're already in profit for 2014 with more than half the year to go.

Recorded the same generation during May as last year which was slightly below the PVGIS climate target (161 kWh) for the month.

2011 - 183 kWh
2012 - 154 kWh
2013 - 158 kWh
2014 - 158 kWh
