Since having a CT and all our usage tracked in Home Assistant, I've enjoyed seeing what uses what and when. For example, I'm curious what other people's house load is when idle.

Other interesting things:
*idle house = 600w
*hot water = 2200w
*heat pumps tick along at around 500w ea (after initial burst)
*our 4 north 45 degree panels do a lot of the heavy lifting out of our 20 total. (10 wsw, 6ene)
*our hot water stays nice and hot even when switch off overnight (really old cylinder in a $70 blanket)
*peak usage is around 7kw over dinner prep but usually far lower.
*still managing to make 22kwh of power on a perfect mid winter day. (auck)

I'm looking forward to my summer data to see what max this panel setup can hit.
