First half use was 0.72 kWh 2nd half was 1.72kwh.
Let’s see what happens on the credit.
I've still not had a credit under the new scheme so far as I can make out...
12x 340W JA Solar panels (4.08kWp)
3x 380W JA Solar panels (1.14kWp)
6x 2.4kWh Pylontech batteries (14.4kWh)
LuxPower inverter/charger
