Today and yesterday, I have broke my own previous solar harvest record, of 2,3kwh per day. I have banked 2,66kwh and yesterday 2,53kwh. We got two flat 295w panels, a total of 590w. I’m in sunny Kent in a orchard, no shade. At 7am I’m already getting 100-150w and by 8pm still getting 50w plus. We go away during the day and return to the pitch by 4-30-5.30pm. This is when I turn on the electric water heater. Also made use of the electric oven for couple of pizza and some bread rolls. Really happy with the performance of ultramax combined with the victron. I did not expect less from victron as I use theirs inverters since 2013 and have a fair experience with their equipment. The ultramax so far have delivered flawless service.

Today I managed 2,25kwh. It went to float to soon.
Tomorrow it’s meant to be cloudy, and I’m already -58ah, by the morning will be close to -90ah ish.
 
Yesterday I managed 2,39kwh. Today is really pants, just under 0,5kwh. I did a upgrade on solar, had a controller sitting in the cupboard for few weeks, got two victron 115w panels, bolted them on two door hinges, a bit of cable and a stick from the woods.
There you go 230w portable solar. A total 820w of panels, grim wet cloudy and getting about 80w in. Roll on tomorrow.

Today new record of 3,64kwh on both controllers. The fixed roof top 3.04kwh and the portable 0.6kwh. We have made use of the oven, hot water and kettle as usual. Still going into the night with almost 98% full battery.
