  • August in South Devon:

    WSW system
    440KWh total (110KW per KWp)
    5% over PVGIS

    I'm happy with that.
    Are you for real? - Glass Half Empty??

    got my FIT payment for the last quarter £580, also received cheque from Scottish power for £250 as so much in credit, Best investment i have made.
  • Beat PVGIS by 9.5% in Cider Country with a 391 vs 357kWh (106.25kWh/kWp).

    7 weeks left until our 1st anniversary and we've notched 2985 out of our 3060kWh PVGIS annual estimate (97.5%). Should surpass it in the next 4-5days fingers crossed.

    Time for the EDF quarterly reading submission this month, £400 already earned since last reading was sent June 25th.

    SDJ, teetering on the 3MWh mark I see. I'm on 2998 for the ESE system.

    Any thoughts on the EDF submission date this time round? I'm thinking of going right at the end of September, since payment dates seem to bear little to no relation to submission dates.

    Also I got 2 requests this morning, one with a '-1' on the end and one with a '-2' yippee. What do you reckon the odds are that the extension still gets paid at the wrong rate (9p)? Ho hum!

    August finished 5% up on the estimated figures (394kWh vs. 377 units, 13 kWh/day instead of 12). Not a bad result but considering we were 30% up on prediction after 10 days, it's clear the better half of August was the earlier half, which of course was good for the Olympics. The first 15 days averaged 15kWh per day, the last 15 averaged 11 units per day.

    So for our system to date, the stats are:

    3011kWh generated so far
    10% above PVGIS 9 month figures to date

    78% of full-year has run
    88% of PVGIS full-year figures achieved already

    Installed - 18th Nov 2011
    Direction - South facing
    Inclination - 30˚
    Location - West Yorks
    Shading - little / none
    4kWp panels, 3.6kWp inverter

    Pretty pleased with that!

    Holy Cow! You're pretty pleased! :T

    Have I got those numbers right? Are you looking at around 3,600kWh's for a whole year, with the summer we just had - in Yorkshire?

    Strewth, 900kWh's/kWp, as you've probably guessed, I'm pretty shocked. So much for the SAP 800kWh's based in Sheffield.

    I'm off to get some extension leads and a rail ticket to Yorkshire.

    Could you please book two tickets; I will come with you.....cheque is in the post ! :rotfl: 1st - 15th of August I managed 147.1 kWh 16th - 31st managed 150.9 KwH. So, 394kWh for August equates to 98.5 per Kw system, my 289kWh equates to 115 per kW system....is that right ? :question:
