Great data! How much power is that in total going into batteries?
They are ALL charging now, roughly 750MW at the mo.
At Nowty Towers we have about 11kW coming in from the PV, 5kW is being exported, 4kW is charging the batteries and 2kW is running the house.
19.6kW PV > 114MWh generated
Ripple 6.6kW Wind + 4.5kW PV > 34MWh generated
7 Other RE Coop's
105kWh EV storage
90kWh Home battery storage
40kWh Thermal storage
GSHP + A2A HP's
Rain water use > 530 m3

Which site shows that? The Iamkate one doesn't give a value for batteries, which is annoying

Aah thanks, didn't realise you could click on the round graph thing and get into the detail. Very cool.

Unsurprisingly most battery farms are now dumping to the grid now we have reached peak period and the wholesale price is positive again.

Negative wholesale prices again now so assuming grid batteries on charge and water going up hill

I’m contributing 3kW to the pumps to do that at the minute, everything at home is fully charged, washed dried and put away and I have mowed the lawns and everything - there’s nothing electrical load inducing that I can think to do next.

Wholesale leccy prices were slightly negative today. Agile prices today were just above zero but tomorrow they are minus 5 to 7p/kWh.
Still waiting on those Octopus free power hours.
