Solar panel production figures

Thats with a 6.56kW array. No battery, the plan is to use the grid as my battery for now. Excess gets pumped into the hot water. My boss has offered me a bunch of batteries that we are replacing network that I can use to make my own. Considering that, but they are not particularly large (12v-31ah), but generally have never really been discharged (battery backup in telephone exchanges).

With that much export going on hope you're planning to move onto the Octopus Flux tariff?

 
Similar forecast to me, think most of the uk is the same
Kind of patchy cloud so will be a lottery on if you get a lot of virtually none.

Today looks ropey and I forgot to put the dishwasher on last night, oops.
I may try to hold out and put it on tonight, but I have already been told its full and there are some mugs etc to get put in.
I can usually rejig it to make space, maybe I can hide the items that wont fit :D ;)
 
In and outey here today ;)
Battery 64% and slightly gaining now dishwasher is done and eaten so it might get to 80% or so if i get lucky
I need about 80% to get through the night so its possible :)

Days like this the battery really shows its worth over pure solar.
Lots of spikes upto around 3kw but very short with down to 400w at times in between.
Battery is sending receiving like the hokey cokey :D
