    Second wink of April (4.26 O's), and fitted my iBoost Solar today too. 
    I'm thinking about the solar boost. Do you mind if I ask how much it was? Thanks

    I paid £280 in January from heatershop - I think you'd have to pay a sparky to fit in order to preserve the warranty (I DIY'ed it).
    Central Beds, 2.02kWp (9 x 225W) south facing with some morning shade, installed 2011 (£7.16/Wp). Tigo monitoring/optimisers on all panels, Growatt MIC 2000 TL-X Inverter and Solar iBoost installed 2022. (4 x 415W + 6 x 405W garden experiment connected to SunSynk 3.6 hybrid inverter & 2 x 5.3kWh SynSynk batteries) (4 x 405W panels queued to go somewhere)

    Similar here, resulting in only 3.92 O's   
    2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.

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