That was my thought too. The installer agrees with me. It's kind of dumb to run the battery down overnight feeding the grid then have to buy off the grid to boil the jug first thing in the morning before the solar kicks in

That's what I'd assumed would happen. We've had panels for a couple of months and got a battery this week. It feeds to the grid overnight.
I'd have thought the panels would power the house and charge the battery THEN feed to the grid. But we can use the battery overnight. It's flat when we get up
For those who have solar power and a battery (or batteries).
Does your battery feed the grid overnight when the solar isn't working?

Maybe you shouldn't be on social media. You don't sound OK. Can you access help?

Our living standards are worsening from this CoCUp govt. Chippy is trying to actually do something about it.
And try not to make assumptions about people you only know from social media
