Solar and PV - week 1

Plus the fact that life is for doing other things besides monitoring solar and PV systems. Anyway very interesting and it would be even more interesting to see how things are going after a year's use.

Life is about - among other things - new experiences and momentary interests. Playing with a new gadget fits nicely.

Yeah, definitely 'new toy syndrome'. It is getting better, I probably haven't checked the output for nearly half an hour.

One thing I have noticed when I looked at the Octopus screen for yesterday's use is that the battery switch up for demand isn't always instantaneous, even with 100% battery charge there are ittle bits of leakage when things like a kettle go on and off. Tiny amounts, less than 5Wh in a 30 min billing period, but still a bit odd. Octopus also reckon we took 5.7 from the grid yesterday, compared to 5.5kWh as measured on the Solar app, so perhaps the clamp meters aren't as accurate as the supply meter.
