What a result! Solar and battery update: how much have we made from exporting?

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV
.

Our system was installed back in April and, although we hit a couple of bumps with it, we’re thrilled with how it’s been performing. Here’s how much profit we’ve made from exporting.

This video is *just* about profit from export. I’ll be doing another showing the savings we’ve made load shifting as well but I’m waiting for Alpha to fix something first so I can give you accurate numbers.
