KH is looking sprightly today.

Looks like there is a week of good conditions coming. :xx:

Maybe some combined RE generation PB's might be falling ?
18.7kW PV > 109MWh generated
Ripple 6.6kW Wind + 4.5kW PV > 27MWh generated
6 Other RE Coop's
105kWh EV storage
60kWh Home battery storage
40kWh Thermal storage
GSHP + A2A HP's
Rain water use > 510 m3

yes its bringing a bit in today, not sure if it was yesterday or the day before when I looked and it was doing -7kW :lol: I took that to be that some kind of maintenance was ongoing, wind was 6mph and I have seen it producing at that speed previously so I discounted lack of wind but that could have been an error on my part as I am not as up to speed as some regards WT ownership :)

Gusting 40mph here today and "fresh" after 4 days of summer weather with average 20kWh days, full house stack each night and brought the EV up from 36% to 70% including some short trips here and there for shops etc.

I can see KH being really beneficial in the winter months to help prop up our energy requirements.

Windfarms take some power from the grid when either not running or barely running.

Ripple have previously said (for GF) the negative power does not get directly deducted from your generation though, its included as part of the operating costs.

Yeah I gathered that as I saw negative generation but my power tally was static - nice to know the digital meter on the web site has a "virtual" pin to stop the meter spinning in reverse :D
