Solar panel production figures

I don't think it's a good day anywhere, I'm top of the charts with 1.4 kWh and that's more than the forecasted 1.1.
 
Well I did spot some bird poop on one of the panels the other day so the weather will hopefully solve that. 0.3 so far, though I don't imagine that number's going to move anymore today.

I would not bother to do this.

You'll get losses on importing, and same again on export. The difference of 7.5p/kWh is probably not enough to make it worth doing, as it will also eat your battery charge cycle life a bit as well, so a hidden cost.

It's absolutely worth doing to import cheap energy to store at 7.5p/kWh instead of using peak grid price of 30p/kWh, but importing to export, I would not recommend.

Over the last 10 days since I’ve started doing this I’m averaging just under 9 units exported a day. At 7.5p that’s going to be over £200/year. That’s a decent % of my entire electric bill!

Once the sun comes out I’ll be exporting loads!

You'll be losing some percentage each way though. That said if you have an unlimited cycle long warranty I'd crack on.
