    Double yesterday's total = 5.3 kWh today:D

    Passed installers estimated 12 month total on Monday, with 2 months to spare:beer:

    Yesterdays was a big improvement for me at 13.6 Kwh or 3.4 O's.... but today is looking pretty grim so far.

    Interesting and quite surprising to see how much variation there can be within one county.

    Reg. for FIT Nov 2011. "It's not what you generate; it's how you use it that matters". One very clean Vauxhall Diesel Sri, £30.00 Road Tax: B)

    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).

    Hiya Winky, you beat me good.

    Like the others my dodgy Welsh luck finally ran out, and generation collapsed to a mere 0.6 Os.

    You could alas get right down to Zero ! Unlikely to get any lower than that though :D


    But there should be plenty of days between now & easter when you generate enough to sustain your own baseload. And my favoured test - "Have I earnt more from SPs than I'd have got from keeping same amount of cash in an ISA ?" - has never let me down over the course of a whole month in the last three years (though there have been several individual days where it's failed).
