    Another day, another 20kWh+ for 12th day running. 22.0kWh today taking us over 6MWh and up to 317kWh for the month so far. PVGIS target is 417kWh (highest monthly target of the year) so we've got 76% of that in the tank already.

    The daily generation graph for this month is nothing short of unprecedented compared to any month since installation.

  • Hmm, only 16 yesterday :( Combination of heat and cloud...

    Ah well at least the UPS units started to prove their worth this morning with uninterupted surfing over a morning coffee :)

    MOT for the jeep this morning :( Fingers crossed...

    Yet another disappointing sub 30 day - 29.5kWh 5.29 Os. Hardly seems worth checking the numbers. :cool:;):D

    I think I'm in the same boat as Eric and SDJ (possibly pea-green?), with ~76% of July target in the bag already. Plus import is only just over 2kWhs per day, with 33kWhs as at last evening, lowest month ever ..... if ..... famous last words. :)

    Mart.
    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.

    When I had a punch up with BG over the "as at death" reading of the meter at a tenanted property [BG had got behind with their guestimates] one of the mantras parroted by the muppet at the call centre was "We are statutorily required to read the meter only every two years". Perhaps the same applies to generation meters.

    Neither of my import meters gas and electric) have been read by E-on in (just) over 2 years

    (Or PV generation meter in nearly 33 months)

    July 2013 is certainly looking great so far (74% of target generated in the first half), however, May 2011 is still the month to beat!

    Our installation was in October 2011 so we missed out on what sounds like a stellar May performance?

    Blue skies again in Cider Country today.

    April, May and June 2011, were all spectacular months, 965kWh, (50% of annual target) generated over those 3 months :j
    I'm sorry that you missed out

    Need help please. One salesman has told me that because i have the old type analogue electric meter because these don`t work with correctly with PV systems i will have to get it replaced at a cost to me. Could add £300 - £500 to the cost. Is he correct?

    Thanks
