    I've finally caught up with all of you that kept shouting at me to get a lower powered kettle. Just made a cup of coffee, using a 1kW kettle that Wifey bought me for Xmas. Generation was around 1.3kW and the ickle red light on the import meter stayed on. :cool:

    Also got one of these for Xmas!

    Finally got my data for 2106 loaded up

    http://solar-panels-review.321web.co.uk/index.php/yearly-comparison-of-solar-pv

    I'd not realised it at the time but I lost probably around 100kWh from the faulty MCB that I had last year. Despite that the total for the year was still comfortably over 3000kWh which isn't bad for 3kWp panels.
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.
