       Despite the clouds yesterday (partial), we managed to charge the new house batteries from solar to 80%And because it wasn't hot, that meant we used no grid power from 6am onwards (even all night the battery powered the whole house).#solar #battery

       I have the system set to reserve 15% of the battery for unexpected outages, and when I got up this morning we had 17% remaining. So that seems like a reasonable number to leave it on for now.Today is of course partly cloudy again, so we still won't get a full charge (and it looks like most of the week will be the same).However, with the greater roof area covered by solar panels compared with our old system, we're now harvesting solar from around 6:00 to 16:30 as opposed to 8:00-14:00. #solar
