My export is 373kw ( had to total up in excel spreadsheet) That's 38% of total generation given away for free, roll on the FIT.. And that is after charging a 10kw battery most days too.

We've had quite a cool May, but still, that defective aircon unit seems to have used no small amount of power last year, trying to keep up.

The upstairs is about 100sqm, it's basically the playroom and guest room, so only gets limited air conditioning unless occupied. There are 32 REC 360 panels taking up pretty much all the useful space on the roof, to the point that two of them are not entirely efficient. However, when there's a two-month stretch of 40degree days straight, even 'limited' air conditioning is going to involve a fair bit of work. I'm hoping for a bit of a reduction this year, as I had to replace the previous nearly 20-year-old air conditioner upstairs. Cost over $12k, so I am seriously hoping the two main aircon units last longer, but in the meantime, it should be more efficient than the previous one. Anyway, the bottom line is that energy usage around here is much, much higher in summer than in winter, which happily correlates with solar generation. Unfortunately, electricity from the grid is also very cheap, which makes payback times a bear.

My initial 12 month projection was 4,877kWh and I've done 3,474kWh so far with June & July left. If I hit target in those 2 months I'll end up on almost exactly the target. However with April and May both passing target by 112 and 62kWh respectively, I might just crack the 5k for the calendar year.
