    Scores on the doors for Jan '16....

    Jan '15 = 104/115.954kWh, 111% of target
    Jan '16 = 104/78.095kWh, 75.09% of target

    Best day was 28/1 with 2.41 ho's, worst day was 3/1 with 0.04 ho's.

    This is now 4 months of less than target, that was after a 10 month run of exceeding target.

    Better see some sunshine in Feb!!
    4kWp, SSE, SolarEdge P300 optimisers & SE3500 Inverter, in occasionally sunny Corby, Northants.
    Now with added Sunsynk 5kw hybrid ecco inverter & 15kWh Fogstar batteries. Oh Octopus Energy too.

    Ended with 103% for month so not bad as things go - but then again here in the SE we don't seem to have had any of the 'exciting' weather that the rest of the country gets....
    I think....

    First 3 months of my install:


    November 2015 - 25.25 Os (101.4 kWh) 66.5% of target
    December 2015 - 20.05 Os (80.2 kWh) 79.7% of target
    January 2016 - 24.65 Os (98.6 kWh) 83.3% of target


    Hopefully I've just been unlucky with the timing of my install and things will pick-up, otherwise my payback period is going to be seriously under-stated.

    I think you are correct ref timing!! Plus Nov, Dec, Jan have been horrendous for a lot of people. Things will pick up!! I look forward to the 500kWh plus months again! :j
