44 produced, 35.5 consumed. Experimented with running the immersion heater with excess capacity as I'm still waiting for MPAN to get paid for export.
Not a very good day yesterday, but today is forecast to be worse with just 30 kWh

A good couple of days. Nearly £800 in and we’ve hit 0 on the import:export ratio.

Annoying. June was a mega month last year. I fear we may have peaked even earlier this year.
We crossed over on the first of May, now at the following.
Import 19.8 MWh
Export 20.9 MWh
It'll likely cross back over come winter.

Indeed, I think you'd need a mega system or be low consumption to end up positive for the whole year. Having an EV hurts it. Last year I was 3k imported.
Be interesting how I get on, I added more solar last autumn, but also got an EV in January.

Since January 1st -
Import 675Kwhs,
Export 1669kwhs
But if we go by pounds and pence including standing charge then its
Import - £233
Export - £250

We're at 3226kWh imported and 3902 exported in 2025 so far. We have an EV but our use spikes in summer with the air con and will now in winter with the heat pump.
I expect we'll import north of 8000kWh and export much less from now on overall.

Your new heat pump will probably use more
Despite generating 8000kwh last year we still import more than we export. That’s what happens when you have an EV and heat pump. We are cost negative mind and that’s all that matters.
Yeah, 2 EVs, 2 heatpumps (a2a) and a server rack... i dont have enough roof to be year round net negative I dont think!Your new heat pump will probably use more
