I'm running out of ways to use my solar - batteries are full, hot water is heated, lay-z-spa is heated (and too hot). The washer and dish-washer are empty. I've turned the upstairs AC on to 'bank' some cold air for later.Central Beds, 2.02kWp (9 x 225W) south facing with some morning shade, installed 2011 (£7.16/Wp). Tigo monitoring/optimisers on all panels, Growatt MIC 2000 TL-X Inverter and Solar iBoost installed 2022.
