Yes, I tested using the underfloor heating in our one son's bedroom, it still seems too much as it should only be around 1000W.

Are you 100% sure its 1000W?

I just checked my records, I have 1500W listed for that son's bedroom, our other son's bedroom is 1000W.

Big day yesterday with our nanny, domestic and gardener at home using all the electricty and hot water they can, at the same time...
Batteries made it to 91% before being held there from 16:00 to 22:00.

I am pleasantly surprised by the amount of PV generation, we are past the shortest days of the year but looking at the same day last year we only managed 25.6 kWh via PV.

Why use grid with 91% battery?

I am being conservatively safe at the moment, partly due to running electrical heaters overnight for our boys and partly due to issues in the area which have seen our mains supply drop a few times in the last week or two.

I am using grid, a lot less than we use to as we run on battery from 22:00 until there is enough PV the next morning.

Nothing, I just listened to @Neuk_ telling me so. You can see though that battery took 16kWh, so could have saved 12kWh of grid and just put 4kWh into battery.

The only thing I noticed in this comment is that someone listened to me so that is my day done.

Managed 51.8 kWh via PV yesterday, I checked our records and the record on our last system was 51 kWh, in summer though.
And yes, @wingnut771, meh grid use, meh non series geysers, meh, meh, mehty, meh.

107 days since install of our upgraded ESS system and so far so good, just need to replace the CB in our main DB feeding 'grid' to the inverter for a larger CB. Our grid use has dropped significantly and PV generation risen significantly, we have used 13.1kWh from grid so far this month and generated 1174.7kWh from the PV panels. Admittedly weather has been good for PV generation and house load is lower than in winter months where we use a few electric heaters. Stats thus far for the system...
Total Import - 986.3 kWh
Total Battery Discharge - 1661.1 kWh
Total PV Generated - 5188 kWh
Total House Load - 6025.3 kWh
