0.85 OOOOO's yesterday;)
Just past 1st years total with a couple of weeks to go:beer:16 Sanyo Hit 250s.4kWp SMA 3.8kWp inverter. SW roof. 28° pitch. Minimal shade. Nov 2011 install. Hybrid car. Ripple Kirk Hill. N.E Lincs Coast.0 -
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)

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:2 kWp SEbE , 2kWp SSW & 2.5kWp NWbW.....in sunny North Derbyshire17.7kWh Givenergy battery added(for the power hungry kids)0 -

To be fair, the forecasters never suggested that we in Derbyshire would be affected. My only surprise is that they were correct
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.NE Derbyshire.4kWp S Facing 17.5deg slope (dormer roof).24kWh of Pylontech batteries with Lux controller BEV : Hyundai Ioniq50
