    British gas keeps on forcing me to send the generation meter reading a few days "early" each quarter - is there some ulterior motive as I am going to end the year about a fortnight early at this rate?

    Anyway my third claim reading is 3397 kWh - being the reading since installation.

    Scottish Power used to do that with my on-line meter readings (for energy consumed), they operated on a 90 day basis, so my annual bills spreadsheet nearly had a nervous breakdown.

    Follow the FIT rules; readings every 3 months. If they can't cope, their problem :rotfl:

    Probably not duck!!! Just trying to work out how you came to those figures.

    Being new to solar pv I am still trying to get my head around these things. I am not so clued up as some of you on here and have to admit I do get rather lost at times. I am not technically minded either. That's my excuse anyway!!!! ;)

    Ask me anything about ducks and hens and i'll probably pass with flying feathers!! :rotfl:
