24.6kWh here, so very close to the magic 25!
A cold day though, but the solar was good enough to heat the house core with a fan heater.

I don't even know what I'd do with 40kWh at the moment!

Oh it's not too difficult. :lol: Any excess goes into EV, June may be slightly harder to disperse it all. :) 25kWh's is good going. Can do a lot with that.

Finished on 54.63 kWh here, tomorrow looks even better. I don't know where all the power went, as my home battery is back as low as last night. :?

Oh yeah, there was a full tank of hot water, two 50 degree washing loads, SWMBO EV +20%, plus all the house heating. :mrgreen:

Powered by the sun and heated from the river and fresh air, back in the old days we would be tried for witchcraft. :lol:

Just beaten yesterday's 2023 PB of 54.63kWh and still generating in excess of 4kW, although we are on the way down. :D

Will it make 60kWh ?, I think it will. :twisted:

Not pv, but still an April bunny...

we were out for a walk all day yesterday, came home to a solar thermal tank of hot water right down the the bottom of the coil... today it's been the same again, so the water is now too hot to touch - and was melting the beeswax slab I was washing the honey off!
A
2.0 kW/4.62 MWh pa in Ripples, 4.5 kWp W-facing pv, 9.5 kWh batt
30 solar thermal tubes, 2MWh pa in Stockport, plus Congleton and Kinlochbervie Hydros,
Most travel by bike, walking or bus/train. Veg, fruit - and Bees!

I think I did about 30kwh on Tuesday but GivEnergy had server issues most of the day and none of my readings are correct :oops:
I did 25.4kwh on Monday and it only really got going from 10.30 ish, Tuesday was insane although a cloud appeared at 4pm for 1/2 hour
