    How is it 66.6% from PV when you exported almost half of what you produced?

    Edit: nvm thought it is self use rate.

    4.1kwp mainly south facing, didn't check my monthly generation, but the last few days I have been generating 24kWh. I haven't bought any electricity from the grid in the last few days either (20kWh power wall) and I've stuck about 10kWh into my car on each day too.

    Giv Energy - why keep changing display setup..?
    Does anyone know which is the figure for generation ? Why make things so complicated..

    I think it’s the 547.50kwh-
    5.2 system - east west split

    I'd say it's Solar Consumed + Solar Exported.

    See how that measures against other similar located or orientated systems on the thread.

    To put that into perspective: a return transatlantic flight for one person from Dublin to New York is 1400kg, so roughly what a large solar install in Ireland produces in one year.
