We had a two hour overcast period at two till four with heavy rain so we managed 10kWh on the main array - not had chance to check the mobile array meter as busy sterilising bottles and making up formula 😁 we are getting back into the pattern of a newborn in the house and so far I haven't seen much of an extra hit on the power consumption either.

You beat me today, only 33 kWh here today, but still more than enough to get by on without any import.

No space heating requirement round here at the moment and I don’t have a DHW tank. Yesterday I only made 14.7kWh from PV but I struggled to use it because it came in one big lump in the morning. Big-battery BEV would solve my problems as I’d be comfortable keeping it at 50-60% most of the time ready to take any spare PV generation but with enough for may daily needs.

No way, not possible!. :shock: :lol:
We did the official switching off of grid charging on the app, so yesterday was our first full day with Solar running the show solo. A great feeling! Monday was 16kWh import for the car. Yesterday, nothing for anything! :)

I hope you are out there tweaking the skid array position JB, :D I just popped out to check mine and found it with two small shadows at the base and only 38Wp, a quick flick off the break swivel and push and break back on and we are at 287Wp :lol:

Looks like being the best day of the week so far here in North Wales, there isn't a cloud in the sky and its so still outside.

I'm not sure but I think I've had a PB today of 38.5kWh, certainly a PB for April. 11.5 kWh today from Graig Fatha would round it out nicely, will see what the morning brings. Iain, out of interest, what is your single day PB? The figures you generate are incredible.
