    Not a great first December.
    I have news for you. That was January. You missed it :)

    My January total was 63.83 kWh, 31.91 Os, against a SAF PVGIS prediction of 67.10, so that's 4.9% down. That is a good result for me with the amount of shading I get at this time of year and one of my best Januarys:

    2015: 63.83 kWh
    2014: 50.02
    2013: 39.41
    2012: 72.23
    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.

    Tell me that's not for one month?

    Not quite....it's 5 hours short of a month!:D

    The final import score was 983kWh.

    I've thought about getting rid of the appliance that's responsible for such a large number......but I hate ironing & I'm rubbish at cooking!;)

    4 years ago, that figure was around 1500kWh/month at this time of year.
    4kWp (black/black) - Sofar Inverter - SSE(141°) - 30° pitch - North Lincs
    Installed June 2013 - PVGIS = 3400
    Sofar ME3000SP Inverter & 5 x Pylontech US2000B Plus & 3 x US2000C Batteries - 19.2kWh

    Jan finished way up on what I expected on Jan 1st when I came in at 0.72 Kwh 0.18 O's

    Final total 178.76 Kwh 45.02 O'ssmiley-happy075.gif

    45.76 Kwh 11.51 O's above PVGIS which is 134.4 %

    On the Gas and Lecy front we used:

    Gas 160 Units

    Lecy 242 Kwh

    We replaced our white goods a couple of years ago. Even got rid of a perfectly good working Zanussi freezer that was 25 years old because of the lecy it was using. It was like another radiator in the kitchen.

    Lets see how we do on the PV front for Feb and I am not smiley-happy053.gif but no sun.
