August was yet another month with lower generation than last year, but I can't complain too much as PV still covered 71% of my needs, even with car charging.
Grid import is higher than normal due to the Free Power Hour from Octopus.

EV efficiency is down a little this month, MrsPablo and I are enjoying the uplift in performance! It's definitely a step up from a 17 year old Fiesta...
10x 405W JA Solar panels (4.05kWp) @ 5 degrees
3x 405W Longi panels (1.22kWp) @ 90 degrees

Solis inverter/charger
