Having 6 panels on a ESE roof helps a lot with early morning sunshine.Cheers,

A Hawaii +0.56 O's for me..

Just a smidge under a Hawaii for me.
Since 20th March, I've managed 683kWh. System setup as per my signature.3.924kWp (12X327Wp SunPower). SolarEdge SE3500 inverter.

My system was also commissioned on 26th Feb (panel info in signature). My meter as of today is 576kWh.
Thanks for replies. Who did you register your FiT payments with? I stuck with SSE as they are my gas/electric supplier, I`ve been in contact with them regarding the application (which they`ve received) but still not finished processing! They did say they have a back log of about 2 months at the time, this seems to be taking forever.
If it`s taking this long to process my application how long am I going to have to wait to receive the FiT cheques, anyone else got SSE experience?3.975 kWp System, South facing, 21 degree pitch, 15 x Canadian Solar Elps, Samil Inverter, location NE Scotland (Fraserburgh) Bring on the Sun :beer:0 -

Sounds like they are working to the initial time you were quoted then and you have nothing to worry about!
The number of FiT applications always soars towards the tariff reductions - I don't have the figures but read somewhere the FiT providers were looking at a 3-5 fold increase. No wonder it takes time.0 -
British Gas are my energy supplier, so stuck with them for the FiT... fully confirmed as of 20th April or so. I'll be giving them my first reading on 26th May, so it'll be interesting to see how long the payment takes after that.Thanks for replies. Who did you register your FiT payments with?

Today, my 49th full day of Solar PV, I have passed one fifth of my estimated generation to 31st December. From 20th March to 31st December I am predicted 3470kWh and I have just passed 694kWh. This seems pretty good and quick...
There are better days and worse days ahead (December might as well be written off - I still can't believe how low generation gets!!), but I'm hopeful of meeting that target early
Wonder how I will fair in the next 50 days. 3.924kWp (12X327Wp SunPower). SolarEdge SE3500 inverter.

Will be good to compare our numbers as I am on day 40 and have generated 637Kwh with a similar system to yours.0 -

Here's my system on PVOutput. Is yours on there or somewhere similar?
