2.24 O's
Better than I thought I would get.3.795 kWp Solar PV System. Capital of the Wolds0 -
Almost a 30, with 5.3 O's.
But did nearly max out on the WNW with 11.6kWh. Slightly dull start boosted WNW gen, followed by a lovely day from then on, giving near perfect conditions and close to my max(ish) of 12kWh.
But maxing on one side, means a loss on the other, with 18kWh on the ESE, which can hit 24(ish) with a perfect start and some cloud in the late afternoon.
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.0 -
Passed the 2014 total for May here today, quite a long way to go to cross off another year though !

British Gas are asking for my next FIT tariff reading by the 31st, which would be 88 days since the last one. Did I not read somewhere (T&Cs, rules etc.) that there should always be 89 days between readings for some reason?
On an unrelated note, I'm loving the bright and warm weather we've been experiencing, I cannot believe that our gas & electric bill for the month is under £20 for a 3 bedroom house in Scotland with a baby! :j Go go solar panels!
Edit: never mind, was 83 days. Reading submitted (we passed 1000 kWh in total, not bad considering we started in December)0 -
