  • I like the graphical user interfaces etc and now I've got my statements on a monthly basis (didn't receive one for over four months) I struggle to fault them. My FIT payments are with them too. :)

    I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".

    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).

    0.6 O's today here.

    Just had an E-mail back about my FIT reading. It says the figure is too high. :eek: No its not I thinks. Then I check. Only added 900 to it transposed the first 2 figures. They could not understand how I had managed to produce more than I did in the 1st 6 months of generation!

    Silly me! smiley-laughing021.gif
