What a strange week number 2 was. Enough rain to drown a duck, and all plans to build a roof on the extension down the drain, so to speak. Sunny all day today ...... should I risk starting?
Regardless of all the wet, and possibly helped by the cold and wind, it was still above target, and has pushed month end estimate to 105.5%. Quite a PV summer so far, if not a BBQ August.
Mart.Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

How do you measure your usage and what you actually paid for?
I have a little meter that shows me how much has been generated. Do you have another for usage? Some kind of clever meter that shows usage at certain times?Mortgage Free 22/03/17
