I read this a few times before realising there was no 'k'
40kWh! A good day for winter, only a couple more days until the solstice and then days start getting longer.
Interestingly, my wall mounted panels outperform my roof panels at this time of year, which I somewhat expected but is cool to see.
I have exported 44kWh so far today playing with my new much larger battery

Depending on how much peak you use. More panels, if you’ve space, are generally a better spend.
Also depending on how much peak you use, buying the electricity at peak rates may be a better spend than an additional battery.
The more batteries you add, the lower their returns. They can quite easily give negative ROI once you have ‘enough’ and ‘enough’ doesn’t mean zero peak rate use.
For 9 months of the year, the benefit the additional battery will generate is likely to be pretty low. Sure you can energy trade but cycling the battery at ~7p/kwh after losses (for now) will not generate enough benefit to repay its initial outlay when you are paying retail rates plus installation.
It doesn’t feel good to be buying peak rate electricity but it may well be the most cost effective option.
