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.

    Export to the grid, for every kWh I export during the day I can afford two kWh overnight.

      I’m not trying to use up all spare solar but I am looking for how people make better uses of it.

        I also have a diverter which heats up my hot water tank which saves on gas, especially in the summer.
