Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

diode_2

8.45 kwh today ,335.84 kwh for Sept .Above PVIGS prediction Happy with that. Almost 3 months now 1206 kkwh for that time. Looks ok to me.

Has anyone filled out a tax return, if so do you put F I T payments on it ?
I know they are tax free but do you have to declare them ?

Totally tax free - do NOT declare!

Orientation 110° (South -70°), Lat: 50.5

Pitch 27°

Total generation: 270kWh

Generation per kWp: 75.42kWh


System: M2 2.0kWp

Orientation 290° (South +110°), Lat: 50.5

Pitch 30°

Both systems were just ahead of target for September.

September figures in Cider Country
Generation: 365.3kWh (98.7kWh/kWp)
PVGIS-Classic estimate: 294kWh (79.5kWh/kWp)
Generation vs PVGIS: +24%
Best day: 7th (21.4kWh) closely followed by 13th (20.7kWh) & 22nd (20.5kWh)
Worst Day: 23rd (1.2kWh) - worst day since February.
30-day average: 12.2kWh (3.3kWh/kWp)

Year to date (commissioned 21/10/11: 94% of year completed):
Generation: 3350.4kWh
SAP Annual estimate: 2951kWh (ahead by 13.5%)
PVGIS Classic (annual): 3200kWh (ahead by 4.7%)

September just beat March & June, was only 2kWh less than August's generation and only 12kWh less than April. Only May & July were significantly higher. In terms of % outperformance against PVGIS Classic, September is in second place behind March (+43%) and ahead of January (+22%).

That's enough stats for a Monday morning I think. Here's to the Indian Summer :beer:

September figures
Generation: 256kWh (115.3kWh/kWp)
PVGIS-Classic estimate: 176.5kWh (also 79.5kWh/kWp, how spooky!)
Generation vs PVGIS: +45% for Sept, +22% since install
Best days: 5th, 7th & 9th (13kWh), closely followed by half a dozen days at 12kWh
Worst Day: 24th (1kWh - guess we had the weather s_d_j had on the 23rd!)
30-day average: 8.53kWh (3.84kWh/kWp)

What Indian Summer?

16.45 and a measly 2.52 kwh so far today.Thank you KevinG,as I suspected. jackieblack we are having an Indian summer. (It is the monsoon season).

Here is an interesting one for all budding Anorak mathamaticians:-

When NPower worked out a payment it is 742.32 X 0.21p FIT payment = £155.8872p (Try it with a calculator)
Export is 371.16p (which is ½ of the Gen Meter reading above) at 0.032p = £ 11.87712p

They then round up FIT payment to £155.89p because the decimal after 88p above is a 7.
And they round up Export payment to £ 11.88p because the decimal after 87p above is also a 7. Finally coming up with a number of £167.77p.

What I think they should be doing, is add the two together first: which would give; £167.76432p because the decimal number after the 76p is less than 5, it should stay at £167.76p.

The reason I ask the question, is that there is no way I can get an XL spreadsheet to come up with an incorrect amount.

Todays brain teaser for you ......:rotfl:

A respectable 6 kWH today.

Just reached our September target for the month with another 8 days left for a little bit extra hopefully!

Another 188 kwh to go before we reach our annual forecasted target generation. Installed in late november 2011.

After a disappointing 4kwh yesterday, we generated a total of 365kwh for September, 21% above our predicted estimate.

September beat April (324), June (330) and August (361) but didn't best March (389), May (452) or July (392)

10kwh for the first day of october (month estimate is 225kwh)
