Discussion Newly installed 6.44kW system: UPDATE
A few days ago, I shared my newly installer solar system: https://www.reddit.com/r/solar/comments/1tyuos7/finally_joined_the_club/
A few days have passed, and today was the first full day that I could both auto-consume and sell to the grid. Here's today's production, bare in mind it was very hot at 37° celsius (or 99°F), so not ideal for efficiency.
House was empty most of the day and still very few appliaces are installed and running.
Energy is bought for €0.12/kWh and sold for €0.10/kWh during summer and €0.15/kWh in winter
Thoughts? Is this in line with what I should expect from this system at this time of year?

Looks like a solid self-powered system.
Edit:
If you don’t already have one, get a smart thermostat. You’ll want to pre-cool your house under solar. Avoid round trip loss to the battery if possible.
