    Hi Just had 4.24 kw fitted (well actually six weeks ago but faulty inverter meant poor numbers) so I have been lurking reading what folks get out of their system.
    At first I thought I had been done with only 2kw some days but now we seem to be pretty much on trend with 2.6 OP's yesterday - us West Norfolk. The FIT papers went into EON - not heard back - is this a concern?

    Hi and welcome to the nuthouse

    We put our PV "extension" FIT papers in on 11th Dec and we had our acceptance form delivered to us on 17th which was signed and went back to them the same day.

    What date did you send your papers in? You could always just give the FIT team a ring to chase it up. Tel:- 0345 3014884

    Remember though that ours was an extension to our existing PV system and not a fresh application so would be quicker I would think. Our original application was 3 years ago and that took around 3 weeks.

    Generation here is still a disaster, TGM might even be going backwards!

    But gas consumption is tiny, what a weird Autumn/Winter so far. Been taking ickle doggy for a walk with just a light raincoat over a T-shirt. And I don't wear much more either! ;)

    It is true folks he does. I have seen his flashing monitor. It sits on his mantelpiece with his other PV generation monitors.

    0.24 O's what a crappy day, apart from the Vino Blanco of course, plus the great dinner I cooked cos her in doors was working to keep me in the life style I deserve.... sxmas_present_100-105.gif?w=150&h=86.....coffee.gif
    2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.
