    I made 457 kWh in April (120 Os), but my FIT payment as a newcomer is about £68. A lot less than yours but still good.

    Yeah, I bought in 2011 when PV prices were higher so it's swings 'n roundabouts:D

    You are still getting the same (or more) free electricity:)

    At 17:30, I'm sitting beneath 2 Os.
    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".

    Very odd readings Wattson Anywhere:

    At around about 23:00 yesterday I had a generation peak of 16.38 kW and then I consumed nothing until well into today. Could it be caused by an overnight telecoms outage?

    Rubbish day.

    1.2 O's (4.7 kWh)

    Also, my highest import for ages too as I've needed heating & lights on all day!

    Spotted that this morning, thought at first your WiFi had done one, then saw the spike at 23:08:00 - 23:08:29 of 32.77 kW Generation. Then you were dead until 6:48 when you had a brief blip and using 21.99 kW; then dead until 09:30 - 09:32 with another blip, then you got back to normal at 09:38; hence Wattson did not register the 1 kWh that your Enphase did ? :eek:

    Edit: Have a look at your Holmes software to see it it shows on that; if not, then it is either a transmission problem or a misinterpretation when it arrives...:A

    Yet mine is behaving okay; the only diff can be either using H/W diversion or wired in, being different....:cry:

    A/an Hawaii was far away today; a sad 2.56 O's for me....coffee.gif
