@c No.
An average single person household (without swimming pool) in this area averages 8.2 kWh per day of electrical use per day in Autumn.
My average use since switching to a different energy retailer in late February has been 4.4 kWh, and the solar panels started working 26 days ago.
Solar provider sent an email explaining how to set up the inverter's dat-logging wifi thingie. It was a short YouTube video that was easy to follow as the computer they demonstrated it on was a Mac using the Firefox browser.
Quite unnecessary in my case as the installers set it up for me on the day of installation.
Shouldn't be too long now before a grid feed-in tariff is established with the power retailer, the solar providers sent them the info about 15 hours ago (after initially sending said info to the wrong retailer).
@larand In my last two years of high school (1975-76) pocket calculators were optional & recommended but slide rules were compulsory. Late in '75 the Physics class paid a visit to a regional university where the physics lab had a punch-card computer of some unspecified sort.
Ours was "big" school for that rural area, around 600 students.

@streakmachine I only use Facebook for Men’s Shed stuff, I use an iOS app called Friendly for that. Today I was playing with its settings & discovered it could handle my Twitter & YouTube accounts as well as several others I refuse to use.

@matigo A vegan said to me: “People who sell meat are disgusting”
I replied: “People who sell fruit and veg are grocer.“
@streakmachine In 2010 I was on the other side of Australia for 3 weeks, visiting family after my nephew’s wedding. While there I paid more for a set of sports shoes than I did for the air fare home.
I still wear them but the nephew’s now divorced.
His ex father-in-law is the chief magistrate of the Family Court & his ex-wife is a lawyer.
Doomed from the start, I say.
@hazardwarning I used to use IrfanView on my work PC. It was so good I wanted a Mac version.

@sumudu Turns out it isn’t app based. It’s tone-based, like a fax tone. It’s only to be used when contacting an LG service centre if the machine is faulty. At some point the tech will ask the user to hold the phone near the power button then turn the machine on & press the temperature button for 3 seconds. A series of tones are sent to the service centre which deciphers them and reveals the reported problem to the service centre.
I repaired the original rodent-damaged washing machine hose pipe with Sugru. Sometime this week I’ll refit it to the machine, then get a sheet of metal or plastic to rivet to the bottom of the machine to seal against future rodent attacks. I’m still replacing it with a new fully-enclosed front-loading jigger instead.
