Nowty Towers Vs UK Grid Storage

[MrPablo]

1.79kWh here today, only 0.57kWh forecast tomorrow. I expect the auto forecast charging will put the battery up to near 100% tonight.
3 more panels ordered today though, looking forward to a little more generation!

Thanks Joeboy! I'll be putting details on a thread as soon as parts start arriving, quite looking forward to it!

I had not turned on the storage heaters in Oct as it was so mild, but I was burning through quite a chunk of battery capacity yesterday with the shockingly bad solar contribution. So its now two out of three storage heaters on now in the cheapslot which helps the heatpump heating to maintain the heat at a low output.

I have a third one in reserve but that's only needed if its sub zero.

Welcome to the Winter club! We have the house up to temperature now. Sits at around 19.5 degs constant with 80% of the storage heater capacity in use. The WBS is doing its thing but at a low rate. SH's are doing a lot to minimise log use. This is how I had hoped it would be.

Batch cooking spag bolag on the WBS. Airfryer baking a apple sponge. No grid, happy days. About 0.8kWh coming in from PV.

Hall temperature here has dropped right down to 21.4°C this morning, so it looks very much as if the heating will come on tonight, for the first time since March. I think we've done pretty well to get this far into November without needing any heating, though.

Bit better generation today, saw a peak of over 3kW just now, 1.74kWh so far, so it will be a slightly better day than yesterday. By coincidence we've had a venison spag bolog on the go in the slow cooker since first thing. Venison is cheaper at the moment than beef, seems to be a surfeit of it at the farm shop for some reason.

Solar is even worse here than yesterday, all inverters are currently generating 0W.

That's a rare scenario?
I have 1kW incoming here but not for long!
