The following table shows the generation of electricity by the solar panels for each month in 2011 in units (kW.hours). It also gives the units exported. As we do not have an export meter these are defined to be half the units generated. The last column gives an estimate of the units saved (i.e. used by us and not actually exported). The numbers do not add up! This is because in the winter virtually all the units are generated over a very short period around midday - this may be used by the heat pump if it is running then. In the summer it is more likely that the electricity will be generated when it can be used (i.e. mornings and evenings), but even then it is difficult to use more than half the electricity generated. We maximised our usage in the summer by only running the heat pump for about an hour around midday, and also only using the washing machine and dish washer when we were exporting electricity. Overall we used about one third of the electricity we generated. The total saving was £1678 for the year although £108 of this was assigned to the heat pump (based on 13.17p per unit).

This table is for 2014. The total saving was £1885 for the year although £121 of this was assigned to the heat pump. Note that a new import meter was fitted in July and the cost of electricity dropped to £0.1239 per unit in the same month (about the same as in March 2011).

This table is for 2015. The total saving was £1818 for the year although £140 of this was assigned to the heat pump. Note that the cost of electricity dropped to 12.16p per unit in April (about the same as in March 2011). By the end of the year the solar panels must have produced as much energy as was used in their construction, transportation and installation so they can be considered "green" from now.
