    54.17 is of course just the FIT element. If you want to know how much you're actually getting you also need to add on the export (whether actual or deemed). That will either be 3.82 pence per metered unit or 1.91 pence per generated unit if you're deemed to export 50%.

    For working out daily earnings, I would therefore need to multiply actual generation by 56.08pence.

    Or in my case 6.97pence:(

    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).
