Solar panel production figures

It certainly helps.. but you cant unload, reload the washing machine and put them out on the line remotely! :D

This is why I load everything and don't turn it on until later in the day. When I'm in the office I leave by 6am so I can turn everything on remotely. But yeah there will come a point where you just have to accept export or save for a bigger battery!
 
Correct. You can also use panels to your lifestyle which is why I put them on my E+W roof. The early sun and later evening while its there helps spread the generation period longer (at the loss of ~20% compared to S). Yesterday we were still generating useful amounts till 8pm. But yes a battery is a great option if you want to store, it still costs though and they have their foibles to deal with.

If/when I expand it would be using the south roof and a couple of batteries.

I think we are too, pretty sure this is the highest peak I've had. In the Victron graphs it shows 8578w when zoomed into 1 minute intervals.

It was very brief, this is the standard graph zoomed in to show 1 minute intervals, its showing 9 minutes worth of data.

I've just moved into second place (ignoring The gaff), but we also have a big grey cloud blocking the sun.
 
Lottawatts and I are quite close, probably keep swapping places, currently I'm a couple hundred watts ahead :cry:

Nice result on the efficiency, it's usually @Oldman2 in the lead there, guess that shows the weathers not ideal down here.
