Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"
Comments
-
At this time of year I'm really not expecting to generate very much. But hopefully January could be better than December and even last month I'll have earnt more in FIT payments than it cost to keep the panels on the roof. I'm quite happy to have a few months like that and collect the serious money in summer.
Agreed, I think we all know that these months are not the ones that we got PV panels for, but I console myself somewhat with the knowledge that I am, at least, using 100% of my generation myself

You cheeky folks, you don't know you're born!
0.6, 0.8 & 0.9 O's - I wish. My daily target at the moment is 1/2 an O. But it does start back up pretty fast, about 3/4 by months end (WOW.)
Might suggest the 1kWp south facing, steep panel ground mount to Wifey again ...... as it went so well last time!
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.0 -
