    Eighth Anniversary Combo Breaker

    Hi Everyone

    On 21st we had our first ever gen of 5.01 "o's" 16.85kwh. :j

    We have also had our energy assessment and completed the FIT paperwork (phew)

    Thanks for the reminder about the slow cooker, The label on the cooker definitely says 10 kw, but I did not realize that it was if everything was all on at the same time, I feel a bit of a fool for not knowing that. :(

    Hoping for a sunny day
    Sleepy

    An unusual PV bonus! The scaffolders have just left, and left me 4 scaffold boards to make some raised beds!

    Hmm, seems my absolute low load is 35 watts going up to 52 when something or other kicks in, as just now. Not sure how accurate my Owl-pv is at low loads.

    Back to 35 watts: think I'll turn on the kitchen light just for the hell of it!

    Ooh, blow that, it's 57 watts!

    Probably very. The lowest my OWL records (at 240v) is 67W - it will show that if only 1W is being consumed.

    2.6 O's today; winter draws are up and ready to go on....smiley-laughing021.gif
    2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.
    Reg. for FIT Nov 2011. "It's not what you generate; it's how you use it that matters". One very clean Vauxhall Diesel Sri, £30.00 Road Tax: B)

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

    We were expecting a deluge of rain today, just for a change the forecasters got it so wrong again. Not a drop has fallen all day and subsequently we managed to generate 8.8kWh(2.2 O's). Still managed a load of washing, dishwasher on and dried the clothes too. Got to be happy with that:D
    2 kWp SEbE , 2kWp SSW & 2.5kWp NWbW.....in sunny North Derbyshire17.7kWh Givenergy battery added(for the power hungry kids)
