I just googled a typical UK install by month to get the split month by month.
My installer provided an expected annual number.

Edit, if it helps this is the split applied for me

Jan	3.0%
Feb	4.5%
Mar	8.8%
Apr	11.0%
May	12.0%
Jun	13.5%
Jul	14.0%
Aug	11.5%
Sep	9.0%
Oct	6.0%
Nov	4.2%
Dec	2.5%

Forecast was wrong which is nice. Already into double figures and it’s not even mid day. About time. Although my consumption is already at 65kw albeit 50 of that was at 7.5p overnight thankfully.

4am it was ******* down, humidity was 99% and I for sure thought it was going to be such a miserable day

As of 16:21
Imported - 7.5
Exported - 10.3
Generated - 15.6

Consider me gobsmacked and lets hope it keeps this up

Can **** down all night if it wants and be as miserable as it wants but pls bugger off clouds when sun comes up lol

Edit
4PM came and sun went poof behind cloud and hasn't come back and now load is higher than input, I should still get some generation til around 6-6:30

Going to break 30 today

alphaomega16 · 1 Sep 2023 at 19:52

Got up to 16.7 myself, as soon as 4pm hit sun went and I went from going up .1 per 5m interval to going from 10 to 10.4 for 4>7 lol

So we are into september, target is 292kwhs…..so at an average of 10kwhs a day and today we hit 9.1. So not a bad start, but could have been better.

Pickers · 1 Sep 2023 at 22:33

22.72 here...

reef · 1 Sep 2023 at 23:08

A shocking first day of the month. Just 5.4kWh generated.

Entered my estimated yearly into website and got this

I beat Augusts target, not sure where they are getting energy used from though lol.

Up and down like a yoyo today, stupid clouds ruining peak rate for export again lol.

Imported 7.4, exported 8 so far, PV graph looks like a punk rockers hair cut from the 80's

I used the same comapny, but i ignored the usage part….as its way over estimated for me.

rah^ · 2 Sep 2023 at 19:14

12.2kwh today so far, still generating abit thankfully

Last September I only did 241kwh overall so wonder how well this month will go

The Angry Welshman · 2 Sep 2023 at 19:51

10.3kwhs here today….was very misty until around lunchtime

Nathan · 2 Sep 2023 at 20:08

30.1 today with a bad morning

reef · 2 Sep 2023 at 21:51

25.0kWh generated today with 12.5kWh exported.

It was clear for the most part but slightly hazy, we only peaked at 3.82kW from our 4.8kW system. Still, it's the best day for about three weeks. Much better than yesterday!
