Solar panels and battery - any real world reccomendations?

I think @katie279 panels must have broken

perhaps they need a reboot.

Good lord I was terrible today, although to be fair to my poor panels they were covered in snow, so 0.41kw is pretty good all things considered!

Today is not so good, my tariff automation within GivEnergy failed to trigger so the battery didn't charge as it usually would overnight.

I noticed it and manually charged it but missed half the Go window, so it only got to 64% instead of 100%, and today the weather is just shocking so I expect I'll soon run out.

Not sure why the tariff automation failed to run!

I see another poor day ahead, its minging up here. We are creating just enough to keep the grid draw between 0 and 50whs…..so around 1p an hour lol

I’ll take that all day long as long as im not paying grid costs at 33p/kwh

Gutted. I’m going to be in trouble too on my battery.

Last to days were my worst (11.1kwh) and best (45.7kwh) so far.

A terrible day.

Sutpidly went down to Hayling Beach with my fellow Wednesday doggy walker. The theory was, it would be mud free. The driving rain made it so unpleasant that the dogs asked to go home. No ohter idiots were there which tells you all you need to know.

I actually had the highest efficiency and came second with the most power (0.909kWh) generated today, based on the live charts.

I think my system hit its highest peak output today at 7.7kw.

*Edit* New best-day today: 47.5kwh!

At this rate there is going to be a petition to ban you from this thread

Please move the decimal point one to the left when posting numbers like the above

It isn't really fair comparing FL with UK though, perhaps his number are poor for FL.

I’m at 4 already today. An unexpected bonus considering how it was looking at 8am.
