I can't see why not. There used to be a few posts showing people's meters but they seem to have dried up lately.

The way I see it, you would have to have your .jpg file available on a web site to post the url?:o
Please explain the process:)

No record breaks today then; hence the no post.

I made a massive.....9.6kWh today; worth £4.61p.

Do you mean "not yet registered on the national database of properties generating renewable electricity" or "not yet agreed with my FiT paying electricity company"?.

Stuffing the panels up on my roof took less than a day (bungalow) but getting the overworked electrician to complete the bureaucracy and get my home onto the official database & mail me the certificate took about 10 days in the run up to 03 March.

[That cost 10 days of FiT £.....!! - at least B.Gas is prepared to use the certificate on the database, when they sign you up and save themselves from paying 5 days of postal (snail mail) settlement time allowed by legislation].



================================================

21 units yesterday (Sunday) a whole lot better than "Flash Flood" Saturday, when the panels generated 7 kWh through a 3.6 kWp inverter on a 30 degree SE facing roof.

I think you are confusing the MCS certificate with the FiT registration which your chosen FiT provider creates with OFGEM's database.

The former is what your MCS installer gives you (hopefully ASAP) and is a prerequisite for applying to a FiT provider, who in turn will register your installation on the OFGEM register and give you a FIT ID for your system.

Occasionally an installer will also help you fill out the FiT forms, but it is done in your name so you should be kept informed of progress by the FiT provider, not the installer.

Hi John

I got all the paperwork from installers 2 days after my system was installed, including MCS certificate. I sent the forms of to Npower on 9th June for FiTs payment. They received them on 12th June. They returned all the documents dated 14th June but I received them on 23rd June stating the MCS certificate should state the system size in kw where my installers wrote it in kwh.

Text the installers straightway and with an half an hour they emailed me corrected certificate. I returned the documents to Npower on 25th June by post and via email.

Now waiting for a contract from them, I have phoned them and they have received all the documents. They are saying takes upto 6 weeks for them to send me the contract. Then I have to sign the contract and return it back to them. They will stick to the 12th June for FiTs payment. Just hope they are happy with the documents and there are no further errors.

So until system is registered with Npower for FiTs payment the Solar Panel are just a Decoration on my roof. .

July has been very disappointing so far to say the least. On 7 days we've not broken into double figures, and only once have we logged >20kWh.

As of the end of yesterday we are 20% under the PVGIS target, which is even worse than June was at this stage. The 7/14/30 rolling averages are 12.9/10.4/12.0kWh respectively.

Rumour has it the jet stream should be moving North this weekend so maybe summer will get going then.
