Giving me a grand total of 18Wh / kWp, or in financial terms, a tiny bit shy of 2p. Hmmm what to buy, what to buy?

Mart.hi
0.79 kwh today... need to check if all my panels are still there.
Don't need to check Mart's house then... :rotfl::rotfl:2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.

26 times the leccy or the money, because that's my 16.8p TGM. I suspect you beat me 26 times in leccy and 61 times financially?
As Cartman might say "Screw you guys, I'm going home!"

Did daylight miss you in Cardiff? Managed a 1.9 myself up here,didn't see the sun all day so was quite surprised with that figure.

First year now up!
We've generated 3095kWh in the 12 months from our 3kWp panels. It would have been around 3250kWh for the year as we lost just over 2 weeks of generation in August with an error code on the inverter when we were on holiday. Per kWp we are getting just under 1100kWh which compares quite favourably to initial estimates.
I've been very impressed with the amount we have generated, I was expecting a lot less as we aren't due south, had the poor summer and when first installed last Nov found that a tree was shading the panels from around 2pm.
In hindsight the tree shading in Nov is insignificant as it only shades later in the day and only during the 4 months with shortest days. It appears that even with a poor summer the amount generated is still good. It makes you wonder quite how good it would have been with a sunny May, June and July!
Payback time is now looking at 5 years which I'm over the moon with and certainly justifies the investment we made.Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.0 -
0.23kWh ... can any one get it lower.......0

Very impressive figures; Per kWp are you are getting 1031.6 (just under 1032)?
This area, May we did 324kWh, June 274kWh, July 318kWh. That written, March & April were exceptional, so all fronts are a 'good wish for'. Current numbers for me are 2497 kW generated = 998.8 kWp. :beer:
Dismal day today, two more days for my 1st. year end; 0.3 kWh

Thought I'd caught you there, should have known better!
Well 'they' said it couldn't be done, but today I broke my new record, got zero's on both TGM's. Got the courage together to 'tap' the inverters on the non decimal point TGM to see how much they'd clocked up, grand total of 0.07kWh. :eek:
Could go onto the SolarEdge web-site and see what the new system did (or just walk up to the loft) but I don't think I want to know!
Wowza, two solid days of grey, cold, drizzle - time for a Stella me thinks.
