    Exactly 3 years yesterday since I installed wattson anywhere.

    It tells me since install I have generated 10627kWh

    This is against actual generation of 10495kWh....not bad eh?;)

    Also says I saved £780.00 on imported electricity:T

    Probably saved more over previous 2+ years due to higher electricity kWh price but no standing charge.:eek:
    My original estimate of payback in under 6 years is looking good:beer:

    Don't you just love Solar PV:cool:

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