Solar panel production figures

I'm in trouble today.....big big usage at home....half term + wife cooking for a dinner party tonight. I, might end up drawing from the grid during peak hours!

Only generated 5.3 so far and battery is at 35%.

However i'm generating at 6.2kW at the moment, pray for me :-)
 
My battery got down to 47% this morning, but we've now got some sun, doubt I'll be exporting anything at peak though as the battery is now at 56% but currently 2.7kW of solar, house load is around 1.3kW constantly at the moment.
How come so high Ron? Ours hovers around 400w and that’s 3 fridge freezers and a load of electronics on standby

I'm replotting circa 320TiB of Chia plots, got a workstation with 512GB ram, 3080 and Tesla P4 working flat out, uses about 500 to 600w, the plots are moved across the network and saved on my server. Should be done at some point over the weekend, consumption should settle back down to around half then.

Server uses about 200w, our base load is around 600w roughly.

My installers turned up today, all wiring, batteries and inverter installed and very neatly too.

However the roofers had to apologise and cancel once they arrived as the wind just lifted to unsafe levels, so now have 13 panels sitting in my garage.

Hoping they can install Monday.
 
7.2 today so far in between some very heavy showers, we dropped down to 15w at one point around midday :cry:

Electric smart meter still not working though so no idea if I'll be billed for agile times or what, 7 days missing now.
 
1.5kWh today.

The last 9 days show how grim it has been: 1.0, 0.0, 0.8, 13.8, 7.6, 0.0, 0.7, 0.0, 1.5kWh.

The battery got down to 12% this morning, so it just covered us despite using 11.4kWh yesterday (its 12.25kWh total).

Thank goodness for the cheaper 0200-0500 flux rate. Its saving us about a quid a day even without any solar.
