Is that average for the last 5 years or the total for the last 5 Marches?

A nice end to the winter season here at Nowty Towers, virtual battery (VB) now at over 215% SOC. :twisted:

Not a bad March, with Saving Sessions booty, Octopus Outgoing export and Ripple windfarm rebate. :mrgreen:
Plus about another £350 for FITs on top. 8-)
Its that green crap again. :xx:

Almost cloudless sky here at Nowty Towers on the South Coast. :mrgreen:

Will surely be a PB for 2024 with 10kW+ coming in on the solar and most of it being exported for double bubble on top of generating FITs. :twisted:

A little shy of 40kWh so far with plenty of generating day left to go. :xx:

Beautiful day here in the Midlands. Solar gain was so bountiful that I cooked a full English English for six, touching the battery only occasionally and even that was recharged by the time we finished eating.

19.5kWh generated at 1400 and 11kWh exported. Might be a personal best, have to get to 25kWh. I think we'll make it.

Nowty, I'm always impressed at the £650 passive income generation. Bet SWMBO can find a way to spend it though!
Solar PV: 6.4kW solar PV (Eurener MEPV 400W*16)

I had a run of credits on my account for £1296.33, I've no idea why it took so long, unfortunately it was followed by a run of debits for £1030.48 :cry:

Ending the day with just over 62 kWh, last time was in early July.

Plus exported almost 60 kWh today on the Octopus Outgoing 15p / kWh rate and will top up later by importing at 7.5p / kWh. :xx:
