Following gloomy day after gloomy day, we got 1.46 O's yesterday, which was very welcome. Stuck a load of laundry in the tumble dryer and it was still exporting even as the compressor was running, so I stuck the next wash load on at the same time instead of waiting.Ended the day on about six and a half units of import, which is pretty good for a day we managed three loads of washing, drying, a dishwasher load and an evening meal in the oven.3.6 kW PV in the Midlands - 9x Sharp 400W black panels - 6x facing SE and 3x facing SW, Solaredge Optimisers and Inverter. 400W Derril Water (one day).
