    Not too shabby. That said last night I was certain the panels would not be on the roof in the morning. Jeez it was blowy.

  • Ended up with a disapointing 97.43% of PVGIS in 2017 - down from 2016. In this game we have our ups and downs.

    Interestingly not had an email from EDF asking for a FIT meter reading yet, anyone else not had theirs?

    For some reason my BG emails don't come through and don't appear in my junk either. All I do is put a calendar reminder in to give them a ring and submit my readings by phone so no major problems.

    Hiya, I got mine in December, the 1st I believe (so a different 3 month sequence to you), and that all went fine.
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh 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.
