    Hard to say without knowing the wattage of your system, angles at which it points and what sort of shading it might get.

    Put your own figures into this and see what it gives as an estimate. I think it's reasonably accurate.

    Sounds good to me. Our was installed 3 days before yours. We've generated 191kWh in the last 30 days in Maidenhead which is a lot further south.
    Our is a 4kW system split 1250w East and 2750w West with an Aurora Power One 3.6 invertor. The site posted earlier in this thread predicts 209 for March and it's looking like we'll go over that on the 27th.

    I'm really pleased with it. Wish I'd covered the whole roof!
