    New issues with Immersion - it heats only the top half of the hot water tank/cylinder - damn the thermodynamics of liquids
    Anyone facing this problem?

    I like April - well, this day in this April. Not so sure about the rest of the month! Second best day ever on SSE system at 5.9 Os. Up there too on WSW system at 5,2 Os. Overall one of the top 10 or so days ever combined - 28.5kWh.

    Still need to average 2.5kWh per day above expectations to meet April target overall :eek:

    Shame it was partly cloudy between 9 and 11 which are good generating times for me. Reckon I would have easy cracked 7 otherwise.

    Ah yes, but you are on that, ho hum, high FIT rate. Us mere mortals on not 50p per unit, could only bag about £5 in newer money.

    That should get the anti-FITters going... :naughty:

    2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.
    Reg. for FIT Nov 2011. "It's not what you generate; it's how you use it that matters". One very clean Vauxhall Diesel Sri, £30.00 Road Tax: B)

    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).
