How about a solar car port on a budget?

You never achieved 100% batteries charge for the entire month of May?

 

The days with PEA going negative are battery full days, there are a few.

 

It doesn't take many dull days for the charge to gradually drift downwards to a level where I'm uncomfortable. Bright sunny mornings are offset by mega black cloud afternoons 😞 

 

We've also got one 14kWh pack with what appears to be an iffy MCB so it doesn't charge/discharge properly, awaiting the arrival of a replacement MCB.

Ah.

The mega-consumers are indeed here!

The chickens have been electrified!!

 

That's 3 panels that were in the garage plus one moved from the tool shed which was a bit shaded.

 

We are now truly full (no panels left over).

 

 

Also, the latest Beta of Solar Assistant adds live production forecasting. 

 

Of course, we can now see how much energy we are "wasting" by not having an EV to charge!
