    Misplaced decimal point me thinks 0.635 O's

    Silly mistake on my part. Thank you. Now I deserve the spoon.

    It's my first spoon and I'll take it like a man. I stand a long way off my monthly PVGIS target.

    Not even close Groover! 0.11 O`s up here!

    One of the worst I`ve ever had.

    On another note, one of my friends is considering an installation and was asking about £££ returns. In 11 days my system has it`s first birthday and I`ll have made around £650 in FiT payments + what I`ve saved on import (+gas savings).
    As I`ve not got a Wattson (or similar) I obviously can`t see these figures, what does everyone reckon the saving on electricity is for a circa. 4Kwp system for a couple with a wife at home all day with child!?
    Just curious for rough figures that`s all. Average family, average 2/3 bedroom detached house, that sort of thing.
    I think my elec bill has nearly halved.

    Cheers.

    Cheeky! I wasn't going to post as I've already posted on half of the G&E board this morning, but provocation like that can't go unanswered.

    Got a healthy (looking at everyone else) score of 0.84 O's. Also currently predicting 105% for Feb, but these mixed weather months are very unpredictable.

    Shine On!

    Mart.
    Mart. Cardiff. 5.58 kWp PV systems (3.58 ESE & 2.0 WNW). Two A2A units for cleaner heating.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.

    Even though there's nobody at home during the weekdays, we still manage to save over £200 pa on electricity. Using the timers to sequence the WM, DW & TD contributes enormously to that saving.
