I got 1.02 O's :T but sadly that's over the last three days total.
Now predicting 99% for Jan, so the typical ups and downs of a winter month, where 0%-200% of daily PVGIS is common v's perhaps 50%-150% in the summer, and no idea how the month will conclude.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.0 -
Good news today 0.43 O's, the good news being that our neighbour at the bottom of our garden has let me cut down the bamboo causing partial shade at this time of year. Even better news, he's going to take it all out and replace with a shed. But still about 10% under pvgis for the month.

Wow, cutting that bamboo down hasn't half made a difference, 1.59 O's today. Mind you unbroken sunshine for some of the time helped a little.:DCoastalwatch wrote: »Good news today 0.43 O's, the good news being that our neighbour at the bottom of our garden has let me cut down the bamboo causing partial shade at this time of year.

Not sure if I have missed a more appropriate thread for my question, but advice is definitely welcome.
I have moved home into a property with a small Solar PV installation (1kW) bit that appears not to have been previously registered for FIT.
The house was new builld April 2016 with an MCS dated April 2016 (after cut off).
I have bought the house and the panels are a part of the property and therefore owned outright.
Not sure why the previous owner didnt register for FIT but when I do so, what ‘starting’ meter read should I give?
The ‘current’ reading or the commissioned meter read as of April 2016?
Cheers0
