    Big differences between you and ajbell. appreciate a SSE system might fall of cliff in afternoon but not sure that explains all of it. Have you got shading?

    Yes, I suffer from tree's in front of the house, not mine. At this time of the year the Sun is quite low, so does'nt fully clear the tops of the trees until later in the day, by which time the Sun has moved round to be partially blocked by next doors roof!!

    If I did'nt have the Solaredge system, the results would be a lot worse!

    Hi All,
    Hope you are all well and not too cold !
    Well, last week was the 5th anniversary of our installation.
    Today we submitted our FIT reading to EDF and the total ' earnings ' so far for us - up to & including this submission - is £9976.
    Very pleased with that, we paid £11000 for our system to be installed back in 2011 so all being well it will be paid for by next summer.
    On top we paid about £300 for an Immersun to be added the following year ( I think ) so that has to be added in I guess.
    Anyway, for us it has been a great decision to have the panels installed and we are looking forward to another 20 years of revenue !
    Cheers ......Nobby.

    107% for November, saved by last 3 days.

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