November Solar Generation and Export Numbers

Here is the overview for November 2023. I am trying this new format. I hope it makes it easier to read.

The worst generation day was the 27th with only 1.0 kWh. The best was the 6th when 7.10 kWh was generated.

The best export day was the 29th with 2.10 kWh. This was not a solar export, but a force battery discharge. It was an Octopus Energy Savings Session. I will post more about this when the program ends. I can say at this point, it has been worthwhile so far. We have made over £10 from the sessions. That is about three days of free electricity.

Rather than show an export profit, I thought it would be easier to show the cheapest day.

Octopus Agile

The costs shown here do include the standing charge. Any comparisons are compared to the unit cost if we were not on Octopus Agile, which is 28.10p per kWh. This is the new unit cost after the price cap took affect. The standing charge is 0.3730p

As you can see once again we used more Agile slots to charge the battery overnight. Six of those slots were plunge pricing slots. These are where we get paid to use electricity.

My introduction to computers started at my middle school in 1981 when our maths teacher brought in a ZX80. That led the computer club being founded and using a Research Machine 380Z

My first computer was a 48K ZX Spectrum which I loved to programme. Once I left school I worked as a photocopier engineer, then a fax engineer and finally moving on the Apple computers.

For the next 30 years I worked as a system administrator. I now work in the cyber security industry as a Sophos Professional Services consultant
