Yes! Best month ever, beating July 2013.
Guess that means July '13 was one of your worse months ever....
For me it was 3.6 O's today; ironically a/an Hawaii short of beating July '13......:rotfl:2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.

540.1kWh for July 14, 130% of PVGIS Classic, and 2nd best month after July 13 (561kWh).
Not going to top that for at least 10 months.Cider Country Solar PV generator: 3.7kWp Enfinity system on unshaded SE (-36deg azimuth) & 45deg roof0 -
Without a meter I wouldn't get any reward for doing those things.
I would agree with you there Eric, well said!!!!
As we are metered we are paying much less than our neighbours.
We also harvest our rainwater for flushing our toilets. Also we have our bath and shower water going in to the rainwater harvesting tanks as well. We collect all rainwater from the roof of our house. Besides going in to the rainwater harvesting tanks, the rainwater also goes into 7 water butts at the side of the house and 4 water butts at the back. We have a soak-a-way in our patio which takes the waste water from our washing machine and our sink waste water. We also have another 14 water butts around the garden, 2 for the hens and the ducks drinking water and the other 12 for watering the veg we grow!!!
Installing all of the above was well worth the cost and effort as this has resulted in us using around 2000 litres a month and getting an 86% abatement off of our yearly sewage charges.

Yesterday was the end of a 10 day spell in which I got >22Kw/h (>5.5 O's) everyday.
Smashing all expected generation out of the park and still hopeful we get a decent August and September.0 -
This month just closed at 605.6kWh..137% of pvgis.
This is my first year, so have no comparison, but think this figure is pretty good(??)2kWp Solar PV - 10*200W Kioto, SMA Sunny Boy 2000HF, SSE facing, some shading in winter, 37° pitch, installed Jun-2011, inverter replaced Sep-2017 AND Feb-2022.0
