I’m happy with the upgrades and system performance. Almost hit 1MWh production but the past week of haze killed me. Significantly cut grid usage.
 
This has been the worst month since my system was installed. The sun's low angle is really working against me; I never realized it would have such a massive impact. I can't even hit a daily yield of 3kWh on my 6.6kW system. To make matters worse, we had nearly 25% of our annual rainfall in May alone.

Hard to tell if it's the new batteries or the mild temperatures and sunny days (likely a combination of both), but I'm happy that my grid usage dropped significantly in May

Anything over a 100kWh on grid usage is sad for me. I need more panels to be off-grid. Paying anything to Tshwane for electricity just feels like a waste to me.
 
Still not up and running since we lost power in the area during the storms. Something borked the settings when Eskom came back online and I’m still waiting on the guy to come and fix it.

Long story short, I’ve had to source a new guy because original installer was a cowboy who left me high and dry. Have found one now from a reputable company who has been and checked everything out, but I need to wait another week or two before he has the time to come and fix it.
