    Hi everyone,
    I have had a corking last eight days, which produced nearly 30 o's between them, and have sympathy for those not in the South East who haven't had it so good. I came onsite to compare notes, but it doesn't look as if anyone else has been so lucky. I'm not quite nerdy enough to check my own generation history, but I think that at 25% over estimate, and with another week to go, this January will have been the most exceptional month ever for solar PV here on the south dunes. I've just put my reading in and had a sniffy reply from the FIT provider, asking for photographic proof. The month started with two days of fog, zero generation, and an earthing problem reported by the system, which made me think 'Oh hell, pay for scaffolding and find a firm to get up there and change all the connectors'. It may yet come to that, I suppose, but subsequently the roof has made about £80 to put in the scaffolding fund. Has anyone else had this sort of intermittent problem, I wonder?
    Just got back from working away for a week, I'll give you a response over the weekend; initial response would be - take a picture of your Gen Meter result and send them it. coffee.gif

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

    1.8 O's today. Through PVGIS (135 kWh) which is some achievement given the awful start to the month and the shading I didn't know I had!
