    what percentage is is the rise in FIT payments this year?
    Please read my post above yours..:rotfl::rotfl: Your FIT Provider should have told you by now! If not, I will look into my crystal ball and try and see when your install was..::D:D
    2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.
    Reg. for FIT Nov 2011. "It's not what you generate; it's how you use it that matters". One very clean Vauxhall Diesel Sri, £30.00 Road Tax: B)

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

    1.333 O's.

    64% of PVGIS for March. Needed 26 O's more to have made it.

    Edit: ajbell, you'll go to 15.46p/kWh and 5.24/kWh for your export rate (I'm assuming that like most you get export rate for 50% of your generation)

    Second Edit: Your install date shows your rate to end of play today should be 12.94p/kWh. I think you must've had your rate increase information...

    PS. I never get information from First utility, they only ask for a reading then 2 months later they pay the money.

    Lot of records broken this month.
    Lowest ever percentage of pvgis - 70% (previous lowest 75)
    Most O's below pvgis 22 (previous lowest 11)
    I think....
