Only ever lurked here, so after exactly 2 years of production here goes -
1.98kw system, solarworld panels, power one inverter, south facing, NE Engand.
1st year estimate from Installer 1820kwh, Actual Meter Reading 1826kwh (5 July2012)
2nd year estimate 1803kwh Actual Meter Reading 3633.0 Kwh.
So there we go 2 years and within 6Kwh of the estimate given by the installer, the system incidentally has never deviated further away from the estimate at that point in the 2 years of ownership by more than +/-40Kwh at any time in either year.
For these O's people average daily O's of system comes out at 917 O's per year or a daily average of 2.51 O's per day.
Hope you find this useful, will post again in another year.
Year 3 target drops to 1795Kwh so interesting to see the panel decline over the next 12 months.0 -
