Output = 1,465.298kWh
Revenue = £1,023.84
Summary 2023 was slightly above average for output, but our best year ever for earnings (and over £1,000 for the first time) following the large rise in the FITS rate. Summer started well with a good May followed by our best ever June, but July and August were poor, with the remainder of the year average or below. 2023 saw two days over 13kWh and two zero-watt days, both in December: one for snow, one for gloom. December 30 also saw a 1 (one!) watt-hour day for the first time. The year was notable for rain, with over a metre recorded for the first time (see right). July and October were both the coolest and wettest examples of those months in our weather records, with March and December also the wettest -- the latter being our wettest and gloomiest month ever with 163.8mm and 8.585kWh. We also had to wait until September for the first temperature over 30°C.
