The Penguin of Evil@neil You seem to be outdoing me in daffodils quite comprehensively!
Maybe I do too much peering at my solar and stuff but I think about how nice the day is in kWh at this point 8)
ahnlak@etchedpixels @neil was definitely the best solar day of the year yesterday (~46kWh), and today is looking pretty good too!

🇪🇺🏳️🌈For us in Cardiff too…and an almost perfect bell curve which pleases my OCD…
@TCMuffin @etchedpixels @neil I don't often manage a proper bell curve, because we're limited on export so once the battery is full the output is clipped.
(although the EV should help with that a bit now!)

@revk
Our grid export limit is 6 kWh and a few days ago we were feeding the grid at 5.9 kWh for several hours after filling our 27 kWh batteries and heating our hot water tank.
We have 26 panels with a generation capacity of 11.7 kWh…10 on the NE (141°) roof and 16 on the SW (219°) roof on the back of the house.
@TCMuffin @etchedpixels @neil @revk one of the downsides of being at the end of a fairly rural (and ageing) transformer is WPD won't let me export more than 3.6kW.
(this is also why I'm currently trying to get them to agree that 258V+ is slightly excessive and could they please turn down their transformer a bit...)
Very jealous of your battery capacity - we only have ~6kWh; it's hard to make the maths justify buying more (although if electricity keeps going up...!)
@TCMuffin @ahnlak @neil @revk Have nearly 12kW of grid export capacity but currently only about 7kW of solar and only 3kW of it grid tied. Working on the next 10kW slowly through planning.
New project is a bit simpler in theory (no listing, no conservation mess) but there's almost no space on the roof for panels and it's going to need to sit on a garden verandah or similar out back to make it work. Having lots of fun finding stuff that the manufacturer is willing to say will take the weight!
@ahnlak @etchedpixels @neil @revk
That same evening, we were still running the house from our batteries at past 2200 at night, despite earlier heavy oven and heating usage and our batteries were still two thirds full at that time.
A bonus was that we hadn't drawn anything from the grid during the most expensive 1600-1900 tariff and we could still top up our batteries during the cheapest 0200-0500 tariff time.

@TCMuffin @ahnlak @etchedpixels @neil was sunny in #Abergavenny too. Mine is an odd shape as aggregate of panels back and front.
