My solution was to replace my hot water system with a heat pump, with internal timer of the heat pump to heat between 10am and 4pm each day using at the most 2kwh in the middle of the day on solar v's 8-9 kWh at night on off peak. Electrician can hook it up at the time of replacement. My battery at night covers me and the sun during the day does my house, my water and feed back to grid. Making me about 95% self-sufficient. Whilst it doesn't make sense in an environmentally conscious world that w ...

Thanks Joklyn, The battery size isn't the challenge, and agree this is 100% linked to the hot water, sometimes the system will heat and there will still be charge in the battery, but I get the same behaviour, usually the two lines equal each other. my thoughts are that its a setting some how that the meter is still charging the off-peak power even though it acknowledges its using battery to do so. The solar team are looking at it for me but though potentially others may have had similar challeng ...

I have a battery can someone explain what might be happening here. it looks like I'm being charged as well as feeding in, I get the 8am as usage may out weigh generation, but at night ? my system shows about 4kwh, this is almost 8
