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.

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.

11.2 generated, exported just 0.8kWh today, and battery down to 5% at midnight.
Incredible what a bad run you've had, you must have a permanent cloud over your house.
8 kWh, even put the battery on charge for half an hour at 15:30 as down to 43%, although probably would have been enough to see us through to 19:00, but I knew the oven would be going on.
8.7 today, battery at 5% by 9pm.
Electric use will return to normal tomorrow, doubt solar will though.

Looking at my Victron charts I don't see anything, it just "lost" the additional hour.
Click your name top right, click preferences, and its the eleventh option down on the list.

Today's figures, 13.17kWh generated and 8.74 kWh exported, even got the batteries to 100% (last time was the 17th), normal service resumed!
For the month, 479 kWh generated, and 429 kWh exported.
Here's what happens when you use too much power (extra constant 600w roughly), and not much solar, even charging the batteries at 8kW for the three off peak hours I could not keep the batteries charged enough to last the day, even stopped force exporting some days.
The top blue line is maximum battery charge for the day, bottom is the minimum, middle line is the average.
We've moved the bins into the garage, the garden furniture is winter ready - the seats have paving slabs in them, and the table is strapped to some paving slabs.
We've definitely had winds as strong as or very close to 70mph more recent than 1987, in fact I'm sure it was just three or four years ago.
Actually, it was last February, storm Eunice with winds of 77 mph recorded at Langdon Bay near Dover, and 122 mph at the Needles - the highest wind speed ever recorded, I guess in England.

I did think about you're panels today when I saw the forecast, it will be a real test of your brackets, although they are a little sheltered by the house IIRC.

I also thought it wasn't too bad, expected worse. As for solar, that is currently 4.7 kWh.
Now there's a rarity these days it 8:32 and 1.1kW being generated.
17.6 generated and 16.1 exported.
Certainly has been, just 3.3 which is just over half what was forecast.
Mine uses Victrons built in system which they recently added, it seems fairly accurate but gets it wrong sometimes.
I think John has a Tesla power wall.
There is Solcast, and Forecast Solar, I've used the latter and it was very inaccurate.
He's not in Kent
13.1, better than forecasted.
My systems forecasting 15 kWh, and the BBC weather forecast is for sun all day. Battery at 94% - I always charge, and export excess, then force discharge at peak.
Mines predicting just 5kWh, but I did force charge, and it's currently at 87%. Tomorrow and Friday don't look any good either.

You know when @Welshman is in fourth place it's a bad day 
A whole 1.8 kWh so far
