Nowty Towers has been in profit everyday so far in March :mrgreen: , although I am expecting a small loss tomorrow (Friday). :facepalm:

With 15p / kWh export and 7p / kWh import, if the "grid feed in" (export) is over half the external energy supply (import) its a profit. :xx:

If I’m managing to be cash positive with my teeny battery and 3.6kW inverter then you should be in clover!

3x 380W JA Solar panels (1.14kWp)
6x 2.4kWh Pylontech batteries (14.4kWh)
LuxPower inverter/charger
