1st November
The smart home extension is pretty much complete. I am spending a huge amount of time doing the decorating and painting.
I had a pallet of insulation delivered (12 rolls) from Loft Zone. I'm spending the next three days insulating the roof space that I cleared for the smart home extension build and will then use stilts to add a raised floor above it. I also need to fully insulate a few parts of the new roof.
10th November
Solar generation today was about as bad as it gets. Just 2.0kWh in total and just 1.1kWh from my south facing panels.
The extension solar accounted for 0.9kWh.
The Enphase microinverters did their best but, it was pitiful.
I still managed to export 0.4kWh and ALL of our imported power was during the cheap rate thanks to my Tesla Powerwall. It can cover our daily loads for over 350 days in each year. This means that adding another PW2 would never cost in and just be a waste of money.
