Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

EricMears

I was pretty disappointed with today's output - until I read the last few entries here.

2,228 Wh (inverter still hasn't remembered to use 'k') which means that today was (just) more profitable than relying on ISA interest.

55kWh for month to date so two days better than today might just rescue me from my first loss-making month. But no chance of getting anywhere near my PVGIS 'entitlement' for Jan

Eric, thought crossed my mind, would you consider it cheating, to deduct your earnings so far from the 'lost ISA investment' thereby steadily reducing your cost of capital comparison?

Or, same thing written differently, allow a credit for the new ISA income from said earnings (as if you had chosen to create a new fund fed by quarterly payments + leccy savings)?

Maybe it's late, but sometimes I even bore myself!

Not 'cheating' - but rather more trouble than it's worth I'm afraid.

My sentiments too.
Made 1.07kWh yesterday. Jan total so far = 55.5kWh.
Looks like I will not beat Dec total, never mind Jan PVGIS:(

Only 0.6 kWh yesterday

Already beaten that today! Hopefully 2 good days to finish off January. Now, what can I switch on to use that lovely free electricity...

And I thought I did good. Looking at your generation I done awful today. 3.73kwh.:mad::mad:

6kWh gen today :T, against all odds Jan's predicted target exceeded by 1kWh and a reasonable/good forecast for tomorrow! :j

6,695Wh today 63 kWh for month to date.

I am now (almost exactly) at point where FIT earnings balance ISA interest losses for month so any generation tomorrow will be a bonus.

However, unless I generate 90 kWh tomorrow (and perhaps inverter will deign to use the 'k' if I do) I'll not get to PVGIS. More likely that I'll be reporting my worst ever month and something around 50% of PVGIS.

And you thought yours was bad Shafeeq. We got 1.78Kwh. We have generated about a third of PVGIS target for month of January.

That's what we get for living in a rainforest!!!!! Nices views though!!!!:rotfl:

OH WELL!!!!!;)
