5 September

Your house as a power station. Imported 0.1 kWh (about 3 cents) from the grid (circled in red). Exported enough to power between 2 and 3 other homes. The 0.1 kW wasn’t even needed, what happened was likely during breakfast, with jug and toaster (very high electricty users) on at the same time as house heating and exceeeded the maximum 5kW at a time that the battery will deliver. So a tiny amount was drawn from the grid for those few seconds. And this is still early Spring, the numbers just keep going up from here as the days get longer and the sun higher in the sky. All money in the bank, literally, we can get the exports in cash if we want. It’s important to remember that by far your biggest earner here though is the electricty you don’t need to buy for your own use. Add that to the export and you’re literally a power station, and far more profitable than any big power station.
