    Mrs L got up early and put washing in, before the Sun arrived:eek:

    Missed the actual anniversary of my system install but on the 7 July it had generated 11939 kWh with an income of ~ £5500. At this rate it should pay for itself in 7 years or less. This is inline with the estimates given to me on install.
    3.995kWP SSW facing. Commissioned 7 July 2011. 24 degree pitch + Solar Immersion installed May 2013, after two Solar Immersion lasting just over the guarantee period replaced with Solic 200... no problems since

    I have had two consecutive days of 4.5 'O's but today only 1kw so far and dull with a wet forecast. Certainly no spectacular results so far this month.
