    Hi,

    Thanks to everyone who has provided info,

    Hiya. As TBL says, you need to choose free-standing, not building integrated.

    Obviously I don't know where you live, but putting in the info you give and a random pin in Herts gave me 3,450kWh, so pretty similar to your figure.

    Changing integrated to free standing changed that figure to 3,610kWh.

    Every little counts. Fingers crossed you may even do a little better.


    Gen today and yesterday approx 4 O's both days, so that's a suggestive double wink.

    Looking at the forecast for the next three days suggests similar, so I could be a winker for the rest of April. ;)

    Mart.
    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.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.
