    June output 335.1kWh best day 21 June 17.6 worst day 13 June 4.8
    Funny looking at May's best day was 16.7 on 30 may worst was 3.4 on 20 May but monthly total with an extra day was 335.3
    On a 2.5kw system louth sw facing from solar as a service

    Good indication for anyone else interested in "Solar as a Service"

    The output might be on the lowish size compared to some people mammoth systems, but with SAAS, you will have fairly little Grid Export and a very high self use.

    Good to see. It makes a lot of sense and possibly the best opportunity to pay for itself in under 10 years.


    ** I did a self install and have nothing to do with this company

    First full month of data. South facing 4kw system. 3.6kw battery. Eddi and Zappi.

    July - 541kWh generated

    Sent 175 to the grid. Pulled down 251 from grid. Averaging 2-3kw per day from grid but did two car charges to get my usage up (my meter is going backwards so wanted to stay in positive figures on the meter reading).

    Best day 10th July - 27.1kWh

    Worst day 27th July - 6kWh

    10kwh Battery storage


    "July

    Generation : 899.2kWh

    Solar Used Directly : 209.5kWh - €32.26

    Solar Used Nightrate : 41.6kWh - €3.08

    Battery Charged : 200.5kWh

    Battery Discharged Day : 85.6kWh - €25.45

    Battery Discharge Night : 79.6kWh - €5.89

    Battery Discharged From Grid Charging : 0kWh - €0

    Export : 284.8kWh

    Moving onto energia's EV plan in Aug as I'm running at about 90% night rate. Also had a power blink on the 27th of July. which screwed up some of the figures, no totals were totally lost but will show up in August stats.

    Solar + EV divert saved €47.39 and the battery saved €31.34
