17 December

Real-time app example. Cloudy here, so the system is generating less than half of what it can do in full sun. Right now I have a washing machine and clothes dryer running, as well as multiple computers, TV etc. That’s the 1.8kW of ‘Home’ usage. 2.1kW going back to the grid. Battery already fully charged so sitting there waiting to power us overnight. Most nights we go to bed with about 80% of the battery charge still available, which would see us through maybe half of the next day, if we needed it. But the sun always comes up, so we don’t.
