@kilgorexv definitely a larger inverter will help and more PV will help support your usage in winter - we have 10kW of PV split across east and west and even on a cloudy day it would cover background load plus a bit. DNOs have started restricting both export and inverter sizes so it’s worth upgrading those as soon as. Our export limit is 3.68kWh but with some planning we can avoid clipping except for an hour or two on the sunniest, mid-summer days. It all helps towards a -£7 bill last year!
