    I'm in a good area for solar days, so my OV now has two heat pumps and an EV charger to provide for.

    Looks like you have plenty of output, what do you have for loads in the winter?

    honestly I don’t know my actual winter load but the panels should be about 100% of usage

    I don’t have anything too big—EV car is about it. The HPWH uses very little and no heat pump heat in the winter

    well your getting close to the shortest day lowest sun, so soon you should know.

    Did the the installer run a simulation program, those are pretty accurate, telling you what to expect throughout the year.

    You can find your usage history at the providers website, probably?
