[QUOTE="binky, post: 526424, member: 490"] I think you are expecting too much from your solar. There's always base load items like fridges that run 24/7, so you will always be using some leccy from the grid. Appliances like a washing machine will pull, say, 1kw whilst heating water, but once it's done that probably uses around 250w to turn the drum. This will clearly then allow surplus energy to be exported to the grid. It's almost impossible to use everything you generate, which is where batteries and immersion controllers come into play.
