Great data! How much power is that in total going into batteries?
They are ALL charging now, roughly 750MW at the mo.
At Nowty Towers we have about 11kW coming in from the PV, 5kW is being exported, 4kW is charging the batteries and 2kW is running the house.

18.7kW PV > 111MWh generated
Ripple 6.6kW Wind + 4.5kW PV > 34MWh generated
7 Other RE Coop's
105kWh EV storage
90kWh Home battery storage
40kWh Thermal storage
GSHP + A2A HP's
Rain water use > 530 m3

Which site shows that? The Iamkate one doesn't give a value for batteries, which is annoying

Aah thanks, didn't realise you could click on the round graph thing and get into the detail. Very cool.

Unsurprisingly most battery farms are now dumping to the grid now we have reached peak period and the wholesale price is positive again.
