    Hi Oscargrouch
    ABB will also recompense for loss of generation. but you have to ask. It does't happen automatically.
    Thank you for that; the thought did cross my mind; but I was so impressed with the 'no hassle' response, I was not going to ask the question; perhaps now you mentioned it; I will...:)
    Great day today: think for the time being I may call myself 'Mystic Oscar'...:D...0.00 O's today...:mad:; already 4% (not GW) above PVGIS for March; don't think that will change. Incidentally, for those who have not experienced being without the Lecci supplement, it is kinda strange to plug in batteries, for instance at night, knowing it makes no odds..:rotfl: True to form 'Mystic Oscar' will post each night (unless on Holidays or working away) as usual...;)...coffee.gif

    Hope this is nothing to do with my recent Bad/Good Luck! Always think that the 'Devil' looks after his own....:rotfl:: The usual day result of 0.00 O's, I can now do this without having to check the GM....:cool:

    Just checked with ABB today; apparently, my Inverter qualified for a 10.5-year warranty. They found that Aurora Inverters built in 2011 - 2012 had a fault with dry solder joints, they have experienced a few with the dreaded E031 code. They do offer compensation for the downtime of £2.40 ish per day, so perhaps today, will turn out better than if the Inverter was working... :D...:beer:coffee.gif

    Currently projecting 83% for March, just need 60kWh over the last 2 days!

    Perhaps my panels need a clean, or it might just be down to the warm, wet and grey weather here each day. Still, the long term forecast says the 1st week of April will be nice - so expect snow.
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.
