    Yesterday was our first whole O for the WNW system, got a lovely 1.2 O's. Practically Summer.
    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.

    Hi, we had our system installed in Mar 2016 with an estimated generation of 3650Kwh per year. To date we have only generated 5862Kwh so way below what should have been generated despite a record breaking summer. Does anyone have any advise on how to hold the company Ecoscheme to account for the shortfall.

    You would need to provide more details i.e. Size of the system, any shading etc.etc. Back to the office; good day today with 2.88 O's..:beer:... coffee.gif

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