[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 524110, member: 6969"] Nope. I keep looking at it, and for a small array it does not make sense. I self use almost all of it, by using the big appliances in the day one at a time, timing the DHW to start heating at 11AM (air source heat pump), and a PV diverter to send anything else left to the immersion heater. The small amount I do export is when there is nothing else on in the house and the PV generates more than the 3kW immersion can absorb. In the shoulder seasons my PV diverter also turns on a 700 panel heater, but in the summer I disable that (though out of spite to avoid unpaid export I have thought about putting that 700W heater outside) If I had more than 4kW PV then batteries might start making sense.
