#SolarUpdate 2 weeks into May and here's the data.

347kwh of electricity generated
158kwh of electric exported back to the grid
8.5kwh of electric imported

So after 14 days, we've spent about £11.30 on electric (inc standing charges)

We've earned £23.70 from exporting.

We've also spent about £6.30 on gas (inc standing charges)

So our bill for the first 2 weeks of May is about £17.60 and we've earned about £23.70.

Which means so far this month, we are about £6 in profit.

We still paid the £100 direct debit the other day, so the credit on the account is currently up by £106.

The best day so far this month was 27.71kwh of generation, we've had an average of 24.7kwh of electric per day.

The lowest day was 12kwh and that's the only day so far this month below 22kwh.

The best ever day we've had was may 2023, when we generated 29.7kwh.

Forecast for the next 7 days is more of the same... 192kwh of solar generation is being predicted for the next 7 days.

At this rate, we'll surpass last years 555kwh for May with 9 days left in the month, and current predictions for the month are over 700kwh.

We use around the 390-450kwh mark each month... lower over warmer months as we use sunshine to dry clothes rather than the tumble dryer. So if we hit 700kwh generation, at least 300+ of that will be exported for around £45+

#Apple is introducing AI-driven battery management in iOS 19 to optimize battery life based on user habits.

The system will monitor usage patterns and include a lock screen indicator for recharge time.

This follows previous updates that allowed users to limit charging to preserve battery health.

However, concerns linger about potential issues, with some recalling the "BatteryGate" controversy.

This image shows a European Union energy efficiency label for an appliance. The label features: 1. The EU energy logo at the top with "ENERG" text and a QR code 2. An energy efficiency scale ranging from A (most efficient, green) to G (least efficient, red), with this particular model rated as "C" (indicated by the black arrow) 3. A cycle time of 15 hours and 35 minutes 4. Various performance ratings and specifications including: - Noise level indicators - Tool/maintenance symbols - A model code "XY00x" - IP68 water/dust resistance rating This type of label is mandatory on appliances sold in the EU to help consumers compare energy efficiency and make informed purchasing decisions. The "C" rating indicates moderate energy efficiency for this particular model.
