It's now 16.15 here and dark at lego towers, invertor has allready gone to bed:D
Made 1.075 O's today.
Sent FITs reading off on 14th Nov and payment (£380.90) was in the bank yesterday:)
Total FITs payments for 2nd year = £1735.24 + savings over Eon (Pre Solar Panels) electric and gas use of £676.00 means I'm £2411.24 better off than I would have been.
Add the £2411.24 to last years £2133.15 = £4544.39 means I have (roughly) 37.8% of my original investment back in the first 2 years:beer:
OK, I know this is not taking into account any interest I've lost, or year to year weather fluctuations.....or the fact that my unit cost for kWhs has gone up over this period but am I happy:rotfl:16 Sanyo Hit 250s.4kWp SMA 3.8kWp inverter.

If the roots of a neighbouring tree are encroaching onto your property, you're entitled to cut them off at the boundary. Or better still, cut them off a foot inside your boundary and pump something nasty into the last foot.NE Derbyshire.4kWp S Facing 17.5deg slope (dormer roof).24kWh of Pylontech batteries with Lux controller BEV : Hyundai Ioniq50 -

Good return; don't forget interest rates being offered on savings have gone down each year, even ISA's are struggling; although , tax free. (No thanks to the Stingy Bankers) But FIT goes up RPI every year......:beer:.2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.

Interestingly, the RPI index dropped in October to 2.6% in line with CPI which was down due to cheaper road fuel and tuition fees(apparently) but may look set to increase again with the latest round of energy hikes due to take effect in the next few months.
