    Hi, we had panels installed on the 18th Jan so still trying to figure things out. Yesterday we had 1.89 O's which is the best we've seen so far since the install so looking promising.

    I wonder if you knowledgeable people would be able to answer a stupid question from me - if at a moment in time the panels are generating say. 2kwh and the household consumption is 2.2kwh. Would the entire 2.2kwh be drawn from the grid or just the 200 watts to make up the difference? Cheers.
