Your lucky, you are used to low numbers, I only did 2.92 O's which is a disaster area for me at this time of year... :mad: :mad:

Your right. I'm used to low numbers, you should get used to them also since the summer is OVER..:snow_grin

Since the weather changed, only generated 9kWh, (just over 4 O's) the last 3 days running.
Last day of FIT quarter yesterday, submitted readings this morning.
5kWh above same quarter last year (surprising given dismal Feb & March) but 115 less than 2011.
Hoping Eon will pay up fairly promptly (email says 5-10 working days, so hopefully by the end of the month)

2.54 O's yesterday:D
Sun's out now, but forecast for this week does not look good.
Edit..15 minutes later and it's raining:(

Remember folks, you read it here first : "regardless of what forecasters claim to predict, the rest of April will be 'Sunshine & showers' as indeed will the first few days in May".

I've had a few days away (the spectacular generation ones of course !:mad: ) then a few disappointing generation days so haven't had a lot to say.

I was getting worried that I might have to apologise for the quoted forecast after the May Day weekend results but weather seems to have come back to normal. No great secret to my forecasting methods - 'April showers' are renowned and this year's weather is running a few weeks late so May showers are entirely to be expected. Have collected half a tonne of water during first part of May (which is rather more than our rate of WC flushing).

Generation so far has been 208kWh - which would scale up to 540 kWh for full month against a pvgis 'target' of 450 kWh (and this month, 'old' and 'new' forecasts turn out to be pretty similar).

£260 projected earnings compared with £25 loss of interest would give a E value >10. Can but hope that actually happens but even with next 19 days having 100% cloud cover I'll still be still well ahead of the game for this month.

Just shy of 17kWh today, shame that my wife did all the washing yesterday when we only did 9kWh. Win some lose some....and on that note !!!

4.7 O's today:D
Fits reading tomorrow, and I'm up on the same period last year:D

The bad news..My eon energy plan has run out and I'm now on a standing charge tariff:((may switch suppliers)

The good news...They're still paying me more than I'm paying them;)

Think you will find that they are all at it these days...:mad: And if you think about it; they are not paying you with their money in reality..apart from the assumed 50% bit..... The rest of us are from our bills....:( Life is starange..

5.12 O's today, think I need to move the panels up to Sheffield, incase they reach their Best Before Date to early.....

We managed 18.35 kWh today.

Forecast had been for heavy rain pm but when I was convinced they were wrong I put washing machine on. Within 5 mins we had a short sharp shower and I was buying 2kW ! Luckily, sun came out again ten mins later so I think we did most of water heating gratis.

A very variable day though - lots of spikes over 4kW but even more less than 400W.
