Month end projection now at 87%, so a teeny improvement.
Back in the battery game, with one of the batts fixed, and the other to be replaced. Hadn't realised quite how much clipping I was getting, gen has been above 5kW on the 3.68 inverter side, so that might account for some of the poor performance in Sept. But now, the excess is going into the batts.Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.
For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.5 -
