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.

    Currently have an old 2.8kw system and I export back to the grid at 44c/kw (South Australia) which pays a lot back towards my overall electric prices. But I will be updating it soon to about a 16kw system, a 24-32kwh battery and hopefully an EV which does V2G. Should pay for itself within 7-8 years. Meanwhile, I’ll also be running my pool heatpump and all the appliances during the day.
