    Can you see the hypocrisy here?
    That's not the point though. Oscar may be the most annoying contributor to this thread but he doesn't resort to abuse, whatever the provocation. If you cannot have a go at others in a more subtle way then I'd rather you didn't post at all. This would include posts like this...

    No :)

    As far as I recall, I've only responded to oscargrouch posts to me.

    Seems fair enough

    and, abuse? lol

    Verbal and written abuse is a form of abusive behaviour involving the use of language.


    To call someone stupid is therefore abuse!!!!

    1.

    I have been posting my income for quite a few months, no-one had a problem before.




    Incorrect - I had a problem with it as it is meaningless just posting your income, so I just scrolled past your posts!!!

    December 33 Os
    2013 comes in at 1032 Os for the year

    Hiya Jim, mine came in at 791 Os (kWh/kWp). I'm pretty pleased with that. South facing at my location works out around 950 Os. And sunny Barry Island (of Gavin & Stacey fame) comes in around 1,000 O's. So I think percentage wise, low 80's is about right for me.

    At the end of the day, it is, what it is, but I'm still a little envious of those near the 1,000 mark. Time for a tracker perhaps? ;)

    Mart.
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh 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.

    Just for the record my 0.36 compared to Legoman's 0.4 comparison in O's is not too dissimilar. Whereas; 0.9 kWh v's 1.6 kWh expressed in kWh looks like a vast difference. Despite the fact that one system is on the NE Coast and tother is, well, more Souff... Plus we are all, at present, getting similar weather....coffee.gif

    Car Insurance Carver!
    It has been a while since I've posted, the last few months have been pretty hectic since going freelance.

    In that time our system has passed its second anniversary and has also completed its 2nd full calendar year. The table below show's annual performance against SAP and PVGIS-Classic estimates.
    [FONT="Courier New"]                              Year 1     Year 2     2011*    2012     2013
    Generation (kWh)              3539.7     3581.8     312.4    3529.2   3626.8
    Performance vs SAP            +19.95%    +21.38%    +33.90%  +19.59%  +22.90%
    Performance vs PVGIS-Classic  +10.50%    +11.82%    +23.36%  +10.17%  +13.22%
    
    *installed 21/10/2011, SAP & PVGIS performance pro rata
    PVGIS-Classic estimated generation: 3203.1 kWh [PVGIS-Climate SAF estimate for comparison is: 3260 kWh]
    SAP Estimate: 2951 kWh
    [/FONT]
    

    2013 was a great year for generation in cider country (North Somerset), with only February and March not hitting the monthly PVGIS targets. July performance smashed the PVGIS target by 34%, and even October, November and December exceeded the target by >20%.
