Autumn is absolutely the best time of year.

Our tiny 1.5kW Solar system is currently supplying pretty much all of the power we're using at home for a good portion of the morning.

A combination of clear sunny skies, and lower temperatures (no need for aircon) has provided this result.

(once we get the bigger solar and battery installed, this should be the case for more of the year)

East/South East (8x 400w panels) panels generated

8.0 kWh

West/North (6x 400w panels) panels generated

7.6 kWh

Solar generated 15.6 kWh

Solcast forecasted 13.96 kWh

Imported from the grid 14.9
kWh - Cost (inc standing charge) £2.48p

Exported 2.9 kWh - Exported
gain £0.43p

14.1 kWh went into the battery

Battery used 6.9 kWh

House consumed 18.8 kWh

Electricity cost for the day at 9pm (minus is a profit) £2.04p
