Thought you were jumping the gun there but with today's weather outlook not likely to be generating much anyway.

Absolutely my thought this morning Iain. Battery is sitting at 35% so hoping for another low grid month as a few weeks out in Turkey.

How much does your house use while you're away?
I guess there is a lot for the storage heaters/DHW even on dullish days...

I think the average is around 90-120 kW per hour. Although we give our son free reign in our absence. Washing machine TD , cooking etc He lives close by and I like to spread the RE quality!
We holiday mode the prop so all CH & HWT is off but I'll charge EV, HWT and laterally home as we progress towards return and PV. This we do via Hive. Also have a resistive heater on standby in bedroom via Hive plug for our return. Switch on at 2am when landing in Edinburgh and crash out in the heat on arrival.
