Orrery - provided we all make an effort, the overall saving will be BIG and the power stations will definitely save energy0

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 bet0 -

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 Essex2.22kWp Solar PV system installed Oct 2010, Fronius IG20 Inverter, south facing (-5 deg), 30 degree pitch, no shadingEverything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the endMFW #4 OPs: 2018 £866.89, 2019 £1322.33, 2020 £1337.07

Well done. Get that form filled in quickly, check it a thousand times and send it special delivery (not recorded delivery, which is unreliable).4kWp, Panels: 16 Hyundai HIS250MG, Inverter: SMA Sunny Boy 4000TLLocation: Bedford, Roof: South East facing, 20 degree pitch20kWh Pylontech US5000 batteries, Lux AC inverter,Skoda Enyaq iV80, TADO Central Heating control0 -

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.)
