I’m curious as to what people are doing with their spare solar power.

I’m in the US and on NEM2. I already have batteries and discharge them when the rates are favorable.

But I still have a lot of leftover juice. My partner recently bought an EV but doesn’t drive much.

I set up a home lab and even bought a small bitcoin miner that turns on when electricity rates are favorable.

    my solar runs my house when the sun shines, charges my ecar and my ebike when the sun shines, heats my hot water and the remainder goes into the grid where I am paid for it.

    i could get a battery system but not worth it for the pittance extra I use

    from 2009 to 2019 we lived off grid in the bush with a 2KW solar system and still had excess power, on a sunny day the batteries where full at 11am.
