    Yes, isn't it frustrating! Perhaps an IBoost or storage battery might eventually make an appearance!

    1.3 O's here today, equally peaky too.
    I have been very impressed with the Miele heat pump dryer we have got recently. Seems to consume around 600W and around 1kWh per cycle. Even on a cloudy day is largely covered by our panels.

    They previous one was 3kW peak and around 3kWh per load. Of which, very little was convered by the solar. Something to keep in mind if upgrading.
