July has been good

So far this month zero electricity bill and that includes charging the EV.

I try to be intelligent ( did say try ! ) rather than frugal on use . EV charging for example ; with a bit of planning has cost zero to charge .

Obviously having 23kw of storage helps somewhat .

Thats the key.  Self-consumption. In our case roughly 14kWh.

 

If I see that, during the working day our SunAmp is fully charged,   (I try to arrange things so that it doesn't ) then I have a long hot shower.  How mean can you get?

Not because I'm dirty, but because  I begrudge producing power thats consumed by others. And that , as they are charged for it, I'm adding to the DNO's income.

Our self consumption in summer ( ignoring ev ) is around 10kw 

Of course due to all the usually working HA - no light etc. gets left on …

Thiyse figured are meaningless, or wrong.

What is the time period, second (in the case ift kW) or month (in the case of kWh).

 

50%+ if the time I have no consumption, measured at the Wh (3600J) level.

You know it’s kWh - I just couldn’t be (expletive deleted)ed to type it . @ToughButterCup understood .

My manhood is 1000000000 long 

nanometers ? , centimetres? , yards ?

 

Doesn’t matter ; it’s just (expletive deleted)ing big

That is exactly my point.  I do not know.

I understand not using any imported energy, and I can assume that consumption is 10 kWh, but is that a day, a week, or for the whole month.

A good counter example, a rubbish statement, backed up by another one.

You got to get a grip on it.

But what units would you use to define the grip?

£125 (426 kWh) in electric for us. No idea how, really need to start tracking down where the usage is coming from. 

 

That averages out to a constant 650W. Pretty similar to ours - which is made up from averages of 150W for the fridge and two freezers, 250W from everything on constantly like Routers, gateways, smart devices etc. and another 250W from highly intermittent but large loads like oven, kettle etc. The most dynamic loads are the fridge/freezers so I have those plugged into an energy monitoring system to log their average daily consumption to identify them separately from a whole-house energy monitor using a Current Transformer. Then the 250W base load becomes most apparent at night, and the rest (big loads) are simply what's left. Whittling down the base load is the biggest challenge.

Oooops, a slip of the 'h' and we're sitting on  @SteamyTea's  Naughty Step again eh @pocster ?

 

Still, it's quiet here and we can have a nice chat about easily Demented Korns  cant we ... 

 

While we're here, complete the following:

 

The once was a Korn from Kernow ,

whose ire became a raging inferno,

Coming back to this, does it include the standing charge?

 

Or is the English as bad as the Maths?

I didn’t include the standing charge tbh . But all the export has mitigated that cost .

Sorry - I must have been commenting on what you actually wrote. 🙃😁

 

By the time I have Rishi's Dishy £550 plus the FIT, I may make a profit his year.
