Best month on record for the 2nd Month in a row. (A record previously unbeaten since May 2020 when the array was only 4.08kW!)

578.4kWh / 5.220kWp = 110.8kWh/KWp
12x 340W JA Solar panels (4.08kWp)
3x 380W JA Solar panels (1.14kWp)
5x 2.4kWh Pylontech batteries (12kWh)
LuxPower inverter/charger

841kWh, from 6.4kWp. 114% PVGIS expected value. At least I know the panels work, and shading issues account for other discrepancies.

88 days, now generated over 2100 kWh, about a 50/50 split between self use and export. Now on Octopus Flux so excess is getting channeled into covering cost of hot water (showers and baths) and subsidising the winters heating.

One observation: using induction for cooking as opposed to gas has increased my electricity usage by about 50 to 60 kWh/month. Not really an issue but gas usage remains at around 400kWh for the month. So with a bit more time I can probably work out what the export will cover. Still importing about 10kWh/month due to inverter speed issues (but costs less than a quid per month given the export benefits).
Solar PV: 6.4kW solar PV (Eurener MEPV 400W*16)

Another good month here, June started off superbly but didn't quite beat the figures from May.
Did have one glitch that resulted in a little extra import - whilst away by Cardigan Bay for several days, the battery comms with the inverter went down. Meant some grid use overnight, but overall still at 95% PV contribution for the month.

Cant say June was a good month in terms of solar as it only just beat May by 43 kWh and it seemed a pretty dull month, although July has started off even worse!
