    3 years today since we had panels installed.

    Total we've produced is 9588kWh. It would have been higher but lost nearly 2 weeks peak summer generation with an inverter fault when we were away.

    Pretty impressed with what they've done so far.
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

  • Being a fledgeling P.V'er, (is it okay to say that? As it almost reads like something else :o ) this is all a learning curve for me but it is very interesting and wholy worthwhile to use this thread as a local, Legoman62 in my instance and national (everyone else) comparison to get an idea if everything is doing its thing taking into account all given variables.

    Anyway enough waffling.... errrr 0.77 O's today.....

    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).
