    It goes into my hollowed out volcano where I use it to charge my huge capacitor, soon I will have all your energy, mmmwwwhhaaahhaaahhaaaa!!
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
  • Orrery - provided we all make an effort, the overall saving will be BIG and the power stations will definitely save energy :)
  • The first anniversary of my installation has just passed :j (Wow, that year went quickly! :D)

    2388 kWh generated, just over 123% of prediction.
    £729.74 received in FIT payments for first 3 quarters, with a further £314.85 worth earned so far this quarter (with a further 17 days to go until the quarter's end)
    Total FITs earned in year one equals approx 9% of installation cost.

    Fingers crossed that year two is as productive!:T

    WOW youre a lucky girl :)

    Whereabouts are you ? Not in Scotland I bet icon12.gif

    So is the wife! When people ask me if I know the Norfolk Broads I say "Know them? I married one!" :rotfl:

    Well done!

    Norfolk is beautiful, both the Broads and the Noth Norfolk coast, we love it up there :)

    Although the part of East Anglia we live in is also beautiful (only a few miles from 'Constable Country' and Dedham Vale) we suffer with the stigma of actually being in Essex, although less than 2 miles from the border with Suffolk - I often say that we live just south of the Suffolk border rather than say we live in North East Essex :D

    Well done. Get that form filled in quickly, check it a thousand times and send it special delivery (not recorded delivery, which is unreliable).

    Or send it by email to Britisg Gas or Green Energy (among others)
    That is what I will be doing - followed by a phone call if no acknowledgement!

    Just got to decide which one to use. (My supplier is EDF but their form is much more complicated and no email.)
