Although I think Nowty Towers will end up with the highest June PV generation record in history, the end of it is less than flaming, drizzle and less than 1kW coming in. But the EVs and home batteries are almost full, no heat or aircon necessary so we will easily make it through to tomorrow's sunshine. :mrgreen:

Had a surprise visit from one of my neighbour's this morning, he left his handbrake off. :roll:
Luckily next doors hedge and car stopped it damaging my fence, car or house. ;)
It took quite a while to get the van back out because the front drive wheel was hanging it mid air as its a fair drop down from next doors driveway. I managed to get enough wood under the wheel whist another car tried to pull him out, but he ripped his front from bumper off in the attempt. :D

Hedges as the new brake pads? I could get into that idea. :)

Our 5 day forecast is lashapour once more. Optimistic here though as we have achieved significantly more in June 23 compared to June 22. Our Home battery soc is now trending downward so I'll likely give the battery a grid whack tonight due to a vanishing likely late evening solar boost. :)

June has been 65kWh grid charge with 32kWh of that for EV alone, the remainder is approx 0.6kWh per day due to inverter response and my dancing the solar utilisation fandango! :D

As good as I've seen. :D 8-)
