Total generation: 65kWh

Daily average: 2.1kWh

Generation per kWp: 16.8kWh

Daily average per kWp: 0.54kWh

PVGIS: 62.1kWh

%PVGIS: 105%
3.87kWp PV
10.24kWp PV SolarEdge system
Tesla Powerwall 2
100 x 47mm Navitron tubes (still being installed!) Now likely to be removed for more PV.
MK2 PV router DHW diverter
Morso 5kW WBS
Vaillant AroTherm 10kW ASHP

28.67kWh a bad December even without losing the ( too ) mobile array.

On the plus side on the first of January before 11 pm we have already harvested 231Wh and have 192Wp incoming which is better than most days over December so at least here it’s a very very happy new year :)

Finished the day with a whole kWh ! After December that’s really brilliant 🤩

4kw FIT system generated 63kwh - my poorest December since instalation.
5.45kw Non FIT system generated 109.6kwh

Need to do a bit of investigative/monitoring work based on these numbers, as both systems side by side on the same south facing roof but seem worlds away from each other, even when factoring in the additional 1.45kw and better pv efficency.
4.0kw FIT PV solar Sunnyboy 4000tl & 21 Upsolar 190w panels
5.45kw JA Solar panels & Sunsynk ECCO 3.6kw.
7 x US5000 Pylontechs.
4500l RWH
Full Biomass heating system
iBoost HW divertor
Full house internal walls insulation

December figures - 52kWh generated - above PVGIS of 45kWh, but lower than last year of 62kWh.

Total for the year was 4566kWh - above PVGIS of 4054kWh - Happy with that for my first full year :mrgreen:

Solar 41.88 kWh just beat last December by 700 w :)

Total import 3421 ( 2857)
Total export 120


However dec 22 I was using several free car chargers which have now disappeared, which probably saved 400 kWh in December
Mitsubishi Ecodan
ASHP 8.5kW x 2
12 x 460w Solar panels
9.5kWh GivEnergy
Batteries x 2
EVs x 3 170 kWh Batteries
Ripple 5.8 kW PV

A bit late on this one, but December 2023:

PVGIS: 190 kWh
Actual: 59 kWh

Absolutely awful.

But for all that Octopus have made the app work for calculating the Flux tariff.

From 01/7/23 to 31/12/23, including saving sessions, 6.4 kWp and 14kWh worth of batteries was cost neutral including gas import and standing charges.
Solar PV: 6.4kW solar PV (Eurener MEPV 400W*16)
PV Inverter: Solis 6kW inverter
Batteries: 14.4kWh LiFePO4 batteries (Pylontech US5000*3)
Battery Inverter: LuxPowertek 3600 ACS*2 battery inverter
WBS: 8kW Hunter Avalon 6 Multifuel burner (wood only)
