100% charged and exporting at 3.6kW, just a shame I'm not getting paid for it yet.

Once my Flux export starts I'll be getting paid 25p or 40p per unit.
Jealous, exported 9.3 and made nothing.
26.78kWh, exported 9.4.
Actually had an efficiency of 3.06

@Welshman the thing is a 5kWh battery doesn't give you 5kWh of power, in Oldmans case it shut down at 20% (that can be altered), that means he actually used circa 4kWh, also 4kWh in doesn't equal 4kWh out due to efficiency losses. Perhaps they cook on electric, and that really hammers the battery, once he adds another battery it may well see them through to the next morning.
By the way, if my battery is fully charged late afternoon, I still have battery left the following morning and we have an electric oven, I enjoy using my powerful computer with dual monitors of an evening or a couple of hours in my cinema room, while the wife and daughter watch TV, we have lights on in the rooms we are in if we need them on, I have a server running 24/7 for various reasons, lots of network equipment, two fridge freezers (no bodies
) because we're a family and need them.
People live their lives differently, we don't all want to live like electric hermits just to be able to boast about low electric usage, if that suits your life style then that is fine, but it doesn't suit the majority.

Perhaps I took it the wrong way, it just seemed to be poking fun at someone who's trying to use what they generate and he's doing it very cost effectively I might add, roughly £2k, another 5kW battery would be about £1300.
It is impressive how little you use though, my base load is bumped up by my server, and theres a tropical fish tank. I'll have to measure what that uses at some point out of curiosity.
The sun's come out and currently at 48% battery which is currently being charged at 1.5kW
@Bug One might well be able to answer that.

20kWh today.
Around 6.3kWh.
16.05kWh today, going to have to charge the battery to 60% again tonight, as tomorrow looks bad.
Seen a maximum combined peak of 8069w from my system today, not bad for 8740w system.
26.33kWh and 9.1kWh exported, so needn't have charged that battery this morning, but tomorrows not looking good.
I notice the team now has 21 members, The Gaff has a 9.96kw system, so there's going to be some impressive output there.

Well, that's a bit of a major gaff then
12.51kWh today, and only managed to fill the battery to 87% which was better than I thought, and that was after charging to 60% in the Flux period this morning.
14.4 today, longer days are helping, started generating at 6:35am
@the gaff There's possibly a way to fix it, Whats the system and hows it setup, also how are you getting the data to PV Output?
How odd, could be a SolarEdge issue or PV Output. I have SolarEdge PV but no battery on that system, sometimes the totals don't quite tally.
It's not an issue, but would be nice to get the figures correct, don't know if it's worth emailing SE support or if there is a PV Output forum you could ask on.
Just 8kWh today, thought I may have to charge the battery a bit to see us through the peak period, but in the end we had enough, but now down to 15%, it was charge to 60% in the cheap period this morning.
@the gaff I did find this recent posting on the PV Output forum https://forum.pvoutput.org/t/gettin...redge-with-solaredge-dc-linked-battery/5930/7 not that its much help.
