Hi,

I've put together (and I am still expanding) a standardised machine-readable dataset from all my home microgeneration, storage, etc, logging.

https://www.earth.org.uk/energy-series-dataset.html

It should automatically update and extend as new underlying data arrives, about a month at a time.

Woah.  That's a load of information.   The trends are obvious, though.

From that starting point, can you see any finer details of your system performance?  For example, monthly use of Electricity minus monthly production, in comparison to your net export.  If I'm using the terms correctly they would come out even in a 100% efficient system when you produce more than you use, but nothing is.  Meaning you could determine your system's overall efficiency.

Being here in the states, I have seen a massif effort being put forth as to put solar panels on every house roof. I understand that panels do infact wear-out overtime. 

This seems to be the plan in the US   

JW:
just trying to put the pieces together with our program.

True they do "wear out" but the time interval is 25+ years. I helped a missionary site in Papua New Guinea clean up some Arco<-- panels that were already 25years old. The "pros" told them were old and needed removing. I helped learn how to wash the lichen off with vinegar and "POOF!!" they started producing again.
People forget that panels do need cleaning from time to time. Sure the output probably isn't what it once was, but they work well enough to laptop batteries and such.

Cheers
