Anyone ever had FiT payments based on estimates?!
My last payment from SSE was £12, when I called to query it (it should have been about ten times that) they said since I hadn`t gave a reading for a couple of months they based the payment on an estimate. I understand when they do this with electric/gas blls but seems ridiculous to do it for FiT payments.
Anyway, nothing lost, just means my next cheque will be extra satisfying.3.975 kWp System, South facing, 21 degree pitch, 15 x Canadian Solar Elps, Samil Inverter, location NE Scotland (Fraserburgh) Bring on the Sun :beer:0 -

A miserable 2.05O's yesterday. End of April will be 6 complete months since install, with only one having met target. Am really hoping next couple of months are good, so that I can meet the yearly target (3500Kwh)3.99KW SunEdison (14 * 285W), Solis inverter, iBoost, Herts, roughly SW facing0

Hi
Your target seems pretty low for a 3.99kWp system. Our 3.36kWp system has a target of 3200 and like you we are in Herts. Maybe worth you checking it.

Hiya Winky. That does sound a tiny bit low, even allowing for a SW install. But perhaps now is not the time to rub salt into the wounds for defaultdriver with a couple of hundred extra kWhs needed.
I'm scraping along at a predicted 101% of target. In the morning that looks easy as the long term forecast says the rest of April will be nice. But in the evening the forecast says it will be 'mucky'.
Perhaps my generation depends on my not looking in the evening!
Whatever happens, should be in the 500kWh ballpark this month, with 20MWh in July fingers crossed.
Mart.
PS That's 20MWh cumulative, not just in July!!!!!!!!Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.
