POV: you finally installed solar panels, waiting all summer for the roof to be ready, and suddenly it's October

10 kWp but ~45% of it on the northside. We're in south Germany, 49ish degrees north. We redid the roof (bought a house with resistive heating and almost no roof insulation... Picked up a bit of a project here) and covering 60% of the south side with panels is required by law (at least to get some subsidy), but we would have done anyway. Don't use this day do evaluate the project :)
Thanks for sharing, that's actually really cool to find out real life values. Out of interest what sort of per day values you get in different seasons?
I'll tell you when I have seasons behind me! It's a new installation :)
Looking forward to seeing it, I'd love to get solar and to ditch gas for a heat pump, but funds are not there 😔
one day... one day...
A heat pump is also in my future, but the funds need to recover from this round of energy efficiency interventions first.
But even before then, having resistive heating might not be the best (or the cheapest) but I love to be able to measure all my house energy needs in kWh without conversions (sure if you have gas you can count cubic meters, but it's a lot of approximations).
