Bit of a poor month for my FIT's. Lower gen this month than each of May June and July, not ideal for the main summer month.

FIT system = 426.0
Sunsynk system = 173.2

Might not have been a great month but when you get paid just shy of £1k for June, July and August FiT it's something I can live with.

My results for August were:

3.87 kWp, slope 50 degrees, due south, lat 57.15

Total generation: 437.5kWh

Daily average: 14.1kWh

Generation per kWp: 113.0kWh

Daily average per kWp: 3.6kWh

PVGIS: 342kWh

%PVGIS: 128%

2nd best August ever, yet I didn't think August had been that great sunshine wise

Nowty Towers Power Station

Main 4kW PV system generated 470 kWh which is 5% below baseline.
Total PV arrays generated 1615 kWh.

Electric Import was 981 kWh.
Gas import was 11 kWh.
Out of house EV charging was 0 kWh.
Petrol used in EV hybrid was 0 kWh.
Total imported energy use 992 kWh

Solar PV / Battery electric export was 1836 kWh.
Ripple GF wind farm generated 891 kWh which is 19% above baseline.
Ripple KH wind farm generated 626 kWh which is 41% above baseline.
Total energy offset 3353 kWh.

Net energy import/export (this month) for Nowty Towers 2361 kWh

Net Energy Import/export (cumulative this year 2024) for Nowty Towers 8399 kWh

Solaredge PV 510kWh
Victron PV 580kWh No standby as exporting
Enphase PV WS 40kWh
Enphase PV HT 8.5kWh
Hoymiles PV FS 20kWh (Est as Keetotek meter on order)
No1's Hoymiles PV 66kWh
Graig Fatha WT 559kWh
Kirkhill WT 1,026kWh

2,809Wh RE generation minus 66kWh No1's Hoymiles = 2,753kWh personal RE generation.

Cash
£69.51 off the WT's
£91 off the Octopus export

£160 smackeroo's into the VB. Happy with that.

My notable is that August production was identical to July at 134.5 kwh/kwp

I had a record August from my Sunsynk system - 615kWh, vs PVGIS of 500, and previous best of 579kWh. 2nd best month of this year as may, June & July were all down.
Hoymiles man-cave system generated 134kWh

I got 388 kWh, 94% of the predicted. June was my best month so far, 506 kWh or 99% of the prediction.

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...
