    That would be nice,just a little bit less than we had last year(4.8%). If the yanks had gone over their "fiscal cliff" then from what i'd read,i'd have liked to have followed their milk price....it was expected to DOUBLE 100%

    We'd all be then :j

    As a matter of interest, does anyone have a clue what the next increase is for the FIT,aren't we due an increase in april? Had it in my head it tracks inflation of some sort up to december. Anyone?

    Tunnel

    Edit:- just checked and the rpi is only available for november,currently 3%

    Yes December's RPI is used to increase the tariffs from 1st April of the following year. The inflation figures are usually published around mid-month by the ONS. The amount of the increase in pence per unit generated/export will of course vary between installations based on FiT registration date(s) and system size(s).
    The tariff rates are adjusted annually by the percentage increase or decrease in the Retail Price Index over the 12 month period ending on 31 December of the previous year.

    2.7kWh today, better than yesterday. :D




    Above is a 'screen snapshot' taken today 11:12 - 12:15. Shows boiling a kettle at 11:37 - 11:38 for a coffee. Blue below the line is great, even above the line is good as long as it is less than the red....:rotfl: (Kettle BTW is a 2.5kW) :mad:

    Haven't said hello for a few days. Started the year great with a 5, up on day, month and year (well you've gotta look for positives). Been raining last 2 days, so only 1.5 each, still, mustn't grumble, the panels are extremely clean.

    [all 3 figures are 'ish' :eek: I'm getting lazy in my old age]

    when the appointment was made was told that not all people change and meters have training on solar panels have we to turn it off myself.

    How long did it take them to change meter?
