Battery update. (Not a thorough analysis.)

Over winter, on “good” days, a combination of battery & solar met all of our needs from about 9am until 5 or when partner started cooking.

On “bad” days (and there were only a few), the grid supplied most of our needs.

Most days were somewhere in between.

I was careful to never run appliances concurrently. We’re an all electric home with heat pump hot water & heating/cooling, & an induction cooktop. But we don’t yet have an EV.

Since late August, the grid has supplied little to almost none of our power. The height of the sun in the sky has a significant impact on the efficiency of our solar. At this time of year, we start exporting significant amounts to the grid, which is where it would be nice to have an EV. (We don’t drive a lot, so would be able to rely largely on Solar to top up the battery.)
