Teething problems‽

Hi, I bought a house with solar panels recently. The house had been empty for 2 years so the 5kw battery was dead and someone installed 2 5kw batteries. The previous owner is dead so I can't get the original installer details and it's not registered to sell my export . It was ok for a day, but there seems to be a problem now. When I got home at 6 last night the battery was 100% with 0 AC load but it was exporting like mad. I put the air fryer on for 20 minutes and the TV and a couple of lamps. By 11.30 it was down to 35%.

And when I got up this morning it was like this. There's clearly a problem. I'm going to call the guy later today but I just need to know first whether this is just a "bedding in" problem and it's normal at first (I don't think that's the case but I thought I'd ask)

Thanks

Hi all, I've just bought a house with a PV system, and I'm just wondering how much energy, approximately, I can expect to generate on a grey, overcast day in Northern UK? Just so I can consider my heating options. I've got a 10kw battery and Victron 48 volt, 3000 wa, 35 amp change controller with 16A transfer capacity.

Many thanks in advance

Sorry guys, couldn't resist this.

His drone footage and zoom lens photography is pretty great even if you're not interested in the masonic stuff.
