    I'm not sure I'd want quite so much detail about my electricity generation and consumption published to the world!

    What concerns would you have out of interest...

    Oscar - you appear to have been generating very little at 12, whilst consuming very much. I've not really looked at a graph with consumption and export before, so this unfortunate issue made me laugh.

    I'm sure it must happen fairly frequently and is no big deal though - just ironic. :)

    Well give me a break, Mrs O had a brew afore putting the washer on. 12:06 Using 2.41kW Generating 1.3kW Costing 1.11kW :rotfl:

    Reg. for FIT Nov 2011. "It's not what you generate; it's how you use it that matters". One very clean Vauxhall Diesel Sri, £30.00 Road Tax: B)

    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).

    Steady start to the day, then picked up after lunch.

    Not my best day but 5.7 O' or 22.8kWh will do me:T

    Pity I couldn't use a little more of the 11kWh+ that went to the grid;)


    Edit. I've just become a .............SMSF?
