Interesting.
So if my numbers are right that's a total of 12027 kWh for 5 years then, and your system is only a 2.5kWp ? I'm guessing here but due to lack of space ?
Our 5 year total was 20285kWh but with our 3995 watt system ( no shading ).

Indeed - pro rata, you are a bit ahead of me (20285 x 2.5/4 = 12678) - probably because my panels are SSE facing and the output drops off in the evenings.
As you say, 2.5 kWp was all that would fit.Do Money Saving sites make you buy more bargains - and spend more money?0 -
