After 60 days of logging I thought it was time to post an update.

Firstly these two months are mid summer so I was expecting reasonable results. The headline figure is that I've generated 841 KWh, or an average of 14 KWh per day. So far that's produced a FIT income of £361. Because my meter is currently running backwards (waiting for it to be changed :cry: ) I have also saved buying 841units, or about £100. So I'm about £450 up, or a 3% return (18% pa) which is better than the stock market at the moment. Of course winter is coming and this will only go down.

The graph shows the daily readings and the 30 day rolling averages. The flat section is where I was on holiday so the readings are an average for that period. The longest day (21/6/11) produced the lowest reading of 2 units :? and the best was 23.8 units :D . I was surprised how much power fridges use - A large fridge freezer and a smaller fridge consumed almost 5 units a day when we where on holiday (the rest of the house was shut down). Average power consumed (overall) was 15.2 units per day.

So far so good, but lets see what the winter brings :roll:
