1.25 O's yesterday:D
FITs reading due on 14th....should be close to 800kWh/£400.00 for the quarter: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 -
Last year Nov '12 - Oct '13 managed to do 467.3 kWh above installers prediction. (186.92 O's) :j
Todate I have received 33.07% back from the FIT scheme in payments towards my outlay since Nov '11. (£2,360.18p.)
Imported power prior to PV install was 2,671 kWh per year. :mad:
This year it amounted to 1,868 kWh; (CU meter) a saving of 42%.:D
The houses actual usage of energy was 2,986 kWh for the year; (Wattson Monitor) = 1,118 kWh FREE! (58%) :beer:
With my kWh price of £0.1087p that represents a saving of £121.53p on top of any FIT payments.(Glad no rent-a-roof job) :beer:
System has managed 3.4 O's today. Alas, didn't expect a Hawaii... 2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.

Wouldn't that be welcome at this time of year. I only managed just under 3 O's.
My SSW system still suffering with the shading issue was the bigger contributer, may have to look at retro fitting a solar edge inverter to eek out every last watt from this system.
tunnel2 kWp SEbE , 2kWp SSW & 2.5kWp NWbW.....in sunny North Derbyshire17.7kWh Givenergy battery added(for the power hungry kids)0 -

I thought I did well today. . But after seeing yours I am going to sulk
2 O's today0 -
Ello peeps. Been another stealth month so far, I'm sure it's rained almost every day, but gen predicting 103% (if average for rest of month) so not doing too bad 10 days in.
Yesterday was a good day with double target and 1.43 O's (don't laugh). Sky was such a perfect blue most of the morning that the WNW hardly generated anything (no reflection back down), and for the bottom 4 months of the year, the sun doesn't (directly) visit the WNW much ..... very antisocial!
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.0 -

I don't believe this has happened....0.32 O's I would revert to £ $ or even € but it's still :mad: 2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.

:rotfl::rotfl:0.32 O's must be better than 0.25 O's.....Weather not as bad as predicted....It was worse. 1000w today:D
Does the double post make it 0.5 O's ? :rotfl::rotfl: 2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.
