    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).

    My PVGIS target for September is 11.6 kWh / day. I'm on target so far, but today is gloomy and tomorrow doesn't look like it will be any better.

    Am I the only one who seems to be constantly getting pestered with calls on "how to boost my solar returns by up to 30%"
    I came back from Tenerife on Saturday morning and have had 2 cold calls already, both "guaranteeing" to boost my returns.
    I'm tempted to have a "survey" undertaken just to waste their time and so I can tell them to **** off as I'm not interested

    More to the point......where are they getting my details from?
