    Eighth full year figures from Bedfordshire.

    2.5kWp Hyundai panels, SMA 2500HF, SE, no shading.

    Yr 8 - Actual 2421kWh
    Yr 7 - Actual 2476kWh
    Yr 6 - Actual 2319kWh
    Yr 5 - Actual 2384kWh
    Yr 4 - Actual 2475kWh
    Yr 3 - Actual 2461kWh
    Yr 2 - Actual 2312kWh
    Yr 1 - Actual 2395kWh

    MCS 2146kWh
    PVGIS 2233kWh

    It was looking like a record year until the dismal October and even more dismal November! :(

    Only other excitement was the outlay of about £500 :eek: to fit pigeon netting round the panels as the normal pair nesting underneath decided to have a party and a dozen or so moved in.
    Expensive as a bit of scaffolding was needed to get to the roof.
    Do Money Saving sites make you buy more bargains - and spend more money?

    Fairly new to this forum so forgive my ignorance guys but what are the "O's" your all referring to here ?

    Just to say, the O is a nickname Oscar's for Oscargrouch, but the industry term is of course kWh's/kWp, but that's a bit lumpy!

    Now we are at the bottom of the year, the lower terms are an O, a Bond for two, a TyhpOOO for three, and a Wink (4O winks) for four.

    Have fun and enjoy the silliness. :)
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh 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.
