£8.00 today (16.5 kWh)Please explain how my £ (fun!) post has anything to do with your statement?
I wasn't going to bother, but assuming you are on the 'lucky tariff' which is 0.4845p total all inclusive tariff: 16.5 kWh amounts to £7.99425p. If you are striving for accuracy in accountancy terms that would be written as £7.99; (£7.995 would count as £8.00) please do not exaggerate...we rely on extreme accuracy on this thread.....:rotfl:
2.32 O's today in either E's I's U's.......2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.

It's 46.81 + 1.65 = 48.46p
16.5 kWh x 48.46p = 799.59
Which rounds to? :rotfl:
Best stick to your 'O's :rotfl:0 -

I'd like to bet that your FIT provider ONLY pays on full pence and DOESN'T round up making that £7.99. We are talking about blood sucking energy companies here after all.:rotfl:
Don't know what my generation was yesterday, indeed after the very wet start I wasn't expecting much at all, yet got home to the wife telling me it had been glorious all afternoon and she'd done a couple of loads of washing and drying:D.

Well it’s a Saturday morning/afternoon, my other 0.5 is at work, so I will try to explain to you why our calculations differed. On my FIT breakdown from E.ON, units generated are printed as paid at 46.8p. Despite this, their final calculation is made using £0.4681. Deemed exported being correct at 50% of total units generated @ £0.033. It all comes down to expressions... 3.3/2 = 1.65 + 46.8 = 48.45 expressed in £ = £0.4845 as the current total FIT payment......
And that is the closes you will get to any apology, because I blame EoN for their inaccurate breakdown printing...........despite that, I did give you a thanks for showing me that on the 25th. this month I made £2.81068p as opposed to £2.81p which the XL Sheet had worked out.......off to the Local to celebrate :beer: :rotfl:2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof.

Well, that did not last long; all I got was 1.196632711 ml of Stella, nearly evaporated before I drank it.....:rotfl: Go on, someone tell me I was robbed.....
0.96 O's today, £0.464p. (kWp) if only I had a 4 kWp system I would have had £1.856p, :eek: but with bigger Investment.Current Investment return is 32.64% in only 23 months....:T (Excluding any ISA's of course) I'm Cool......

You don't have to explain why our calculations differed. I fully understand why, it was because you were wrong and I was right :rotfl:
And you did it lecturing me on accuracy :rotfl:
I see you are similar to the other oracles on here, cardew and zuepater as examples, that when you make a fool of yourself rather than laughing at yourself you try to turn it on others.
Thanks for the master class in accuracy and exaggeration.
I see you are not only filling this thread with pointless 'O' posts, you now have expanded to multi decimal point ones too.
Anyway, back to my £0
