Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

I think it's more annoying because they were so prompt paying the first few..... within a couple of weeks IIRC.

My last FIT amount due was £343.30p so according to https://payontime.co.uk/late-payment-legislation-interest-calculators is 8% + 0.5% Bank of England Rate / 365; .07p per day = £1.20 if they stick to 45 days. Could be an interesting excercise. :beer:

11.2kWh today

I'm with you Shafeeq - installed on Thurs 14/6 and only one generation day over 20, but look how bad June has been weather-wise.

I've seen one or two peaks on the generation graphs above 4200w - but nothing sustained as the clouds roll past.

As you say - we need some decent sun to know how our systems can perform. After watching the BBC weather forecast, I doubt that will happen during June.

I haven't got round to the PVGIS stuff yet.

Hi

Probably, but I am bit worried, my figures seem quite less then others, my generation has quite few drops, not sure if its the weather or installation of my system. Since I had my system installed nearly 3 weeks ago we have not had a proper sunny day yet.

I should not decide to press the panic button yet; your figure of 8.7kWh compared to mine of 7.8kWh isn't far out compared to any change in weather. At the moment everyone is suffering from the poor weather for June. :mad: I am sure others, more experienced than I, will give their opinions for you.;)

Daily ave 'target' for next 4 days has just increased to 27 kWh/day ! Weather forecasts make that extremely unlikely - but they've been wrong before . . . .

Don't get rid of the Seaweed :rotfl:

Pressie for you Stuart. I slapped in Stafford and -70 for ESE (110deg from North).

Fixed system: inclination=45°, orientation=-70°
Month Ed Em Hd Hm
Jan 2.62 81.1 0.86 26.6

Check out the Em column, June target approx 407.

Actually, those numbers are almost identical to my system, which is 3.58 ESE, Cardiff, annual 2850, June 417 (shallow panels av. 27deg).

Well June isn't looking too good. Like Eric, I'm holding out hope for better stuff, but reality has just popped round and rung the doorbell. I daren't open the door, as I suspect a good slap in the face with some wet seaweed is waiting for me.

Not sure if I'll get shouted at for this, but I'm pleasantly surprised to be closing in on a 90% total for June. Which personally I find quite impressive considering how 'Marchesque' this month has been.

In fact given the extremely odd weather we've had this year so far, I've had Jan flat, Feb +10%, Mch +10%, April -10%, May +10%, June (est) -10%.

The forecast for the first week of July here still looks like Mch. Bah!!

Mart.

Thanks John , hadn't seen that thread - I'll take my rant over there....

I had 4KW PV system installed last November - just wondering what is the highest daily output anyones had this year - Mine is 25kwh although my system is split east/west so i don't expect to make the same as someone south facing array - but it would be nice to have an idea what others are generating - Thanks:)

16kWh has been the most I've generated in a day, a couple of times this year and a few more last year.
(My meter only shows whole kWh so this could possibly be as much as 16.99kWh )
