Blue sky and strong wind up here. IO offering lunchtime charging!

A small 1.3kW incoming from PV (shading) but it's enough to make me feel like a minor solar god again. :lol:

How's it down on the South coast?

Even got to Bongo open and Spring airing. For two bob I'd drive away today!

Still significant shading on my system till mid Feb but a nice 4kW+ coming in. I'm having to force export 4kW to keep my Victron Charge Controller in business because the home battery is full. I would have previously dumped the excess power to a house load in the past but at 15p / kWh export its more cost effective to export. :mrgreen:

My gas meter isn’t smart - was too far away from the electricity meter which acts as the comms hub, so no signal

I notice nuclear is slowly creeping back up again - and both units at Harlepool should be up online again in the next week or so...
