35kWh again today, Tesla up to 83% and I have turned off home battery charging completely tonight as looks like even higher solar yield for tomorrow. Possibly an all time record for Feb tomorrow although I'm only guessing based on end of Feb, wall to wall sunshine, slightly cooler temps and only had my max installed solar capacity for a couple of years. :mrgreen:

A very nice consistent 3.2kW coming in at the moment. Washing machine has run twice, a few miles into the car, a couple of hours into the HWT and a load of battery charging for the chainsaw work this morning and hydraulic log splitter.

Just finished lunch as an early start today and away in EV for a walk around a country estate. 8-)

Now actively pulling down the battery stack in the AM so all the PV power has a place to go in the PM. Hopefully continue to dial back the overnight charging. :)

Corner definitely turned, taps aff, glass of something white and chilled, lunch outside. The power of insolation.

Solar gain in the house (+2-4o) butterflies out, birds enjoying themselves. The real power of the sun]

That sounds great, game on! We continue to have small remainder snowpatches in shaded areas but walks in the sunshine are glorious. First day since Winter start that WS has not went on first thing. 14.30hrs before I fired it up to parboil tatties and shove heat. HWT was heated for 3 hours today from solar. :D

That was our only mistake today - we’re a bit sensitive with the house effectively unsealed at the front (building works).

Lit the fire about 09:00, with the solar gain, it was getting to sauna levels by 14:00. Ah well, it’s only the wood that came from the demolition of the previous bay window structure.

Here’s fingers crossed for an early spring with plenty of sun :D

Yield today ended at 39.9 kWh which I thought must be a record for me for Feb, but turned out I made 41.5 kWh on 26th Feb 2021. :mrgreen:

FIT1 (4kW) - £12.48
FIT2 (4.4kW) - £2.96
Off Peak leccy saving - £1.93
Total financial benefit to me - £17.37

CO2 saved today (grid carbon intensity was low today at about 50g / kWh), so about 2kg

If I was not on such a good tariff and did not have battery storage the leccy savings would be several times more.

If the grid carbon intensity was at the average 200g / kWh, my CO2 savings would also be 4 times higher.

Soon I will be able to add in the ripple WT1 savings as it was windy in both the WT1 and WT2 areas today. I reckon today WT1 would have rebated me about £3.

February has been a pretty good month, today got 44.3kWh also had 41.3kWh on the 20th so I'm guessing maybe the best February since install of either system.
3.87kWp PV
10.24kWp PV SolarEdge system
Tesla Powerwall 2
100 x 47mm Navitron tubes (still being installed!) Now likely to be removed for more PV.
