    Just past the 3rd anniversary of installation.
    PVGIS predictions for my system per annum: 1937kWh (classic) & 2134kWh (Climate)

    Actual generation:
    Yr1 2156kWh
    Yr2 2577kWh
    Yr3 2269kWh

    Mean Average annual generation = 2334kWh, 20% above classic prediction (the figure I used when making the decision to invest) and 9.37% above climate prediction

    Overall, pretty happy so far :)


    A smidge under £3000 received in FIT paymentsfor first 11 quarters, with a further £240 worth earned so far this quarter (with a further 17 days to go until the quarter's end)
    Total FITs earned to date equals approx 28% of installation cost
    2.22kWp Solar PV system installed Oct 2010, Fronius IG20 Inverter, south facing (-5 deg), 30 degree pitch, no shading
    Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the end
    MFW #4 OPs: 2018 £866.89, 2019 £1322.33, 2020 £1337.07
    2021 £1250.00, 2022 £1500.00, 2023 £1500, 2024 £1350
    2025 target = £1200, YTD £9190

    Just under 10kWh today, that passes the tunnel test, more income from generation than paid for importing.
    At roughly 12kWh a day import at 12.7365543p I only need to generate 3kWh to cover my costs.:rotfl:

    What Storm? At least they got it right for the Southern and South Eastern half, fair play. Glad we missed the brunt.

    To be fair, the forecasters never suggested that we in Derbyshire would be affected. My only surprise is that they were correct :D

    I didn't venture down South to check today, but if the TV pictures shown this morning were anything to go by there were at least a couple of dozen days in the 1960s & 70s when sea conditions were much rougher.
