    Under normal circumstances, you'e expect to get three quarters of my output. That would be around 4.4Kwh today.

    However, (1) your scaffolding may be casting a shadow and (2) my graph shows there must have been a few bright intervals; 20mls up the road you might have had fewer sunny intervals.

    Hi Julie-H

    Any news on your system, if you got installation date and if you had EPC done.

    What system did you decide to go for.

    We had a Sunrise 4.00kWp system installed on Mon 11th June. Everything has gone great thanks - EPC came back as a D :) - structural survey came back fine too (I didnt realise that a structural survey is required by the regulators).
    Generated as follows:- (readings taken at 9am each day)
    Tues - 4
    Wed - 10
    Thurs - 10
    Fri - 12
    Sat - 14
    Sun - 8
    Mon - 16
    Tue - 18
    Really pleased and love the black surrounds on the panels.

    Hi Julie-H

    Please to hear that you got your system up and running.

    The figures do look good. I assume figure of Tues - 18 is wrong... you already hit 18 today...

    Structural Survey news to me. Don't think that was carried out for my system.

    The readings are taken at 9am every day and show the units produced in the previous 24 hours - last Tuesdays were lower as the system wasnt finished until lunchtime on the Monday. This mornings reading of 18 was what was produced between 9am yesterday and 9am this morning.
    Apparently it is in the regulations now for a structural survey to be done on all installations.

    Your figures are really good. Where are you based?

    Since 7th June I had only 3 days above 10 kw.

    We are in N Yorkshire, but we dont have any shading and a South facing roof.
    To be honest, it is performing better than we thought, and although we will need to get a full years figures behind us, we think it is out performing the performance certificate we were given.

    Really pleased with the company that installed it, as they have held our hands throughout the process, and having been to a lot of forums, they have advised us on things that i had not read about before (ie insurance and structural surveys etc).

    To be honest, I hadnt heard of the Sunrise panels before but having seen comments in other forums, and seen the independent Photon report on the best performing panels, we were happy to take the risk.

    Hi

    I have seen my meter going backward. But thought it does. I noticed the meter never went back a certain number. But after few good days of generation. I realised the meter only goes back the last digit. The other digits never change for example. The day the solar panel were installed and my meter was

    66663 the meter would only go back to 66660 never less then that. It would never go negative. I hope the explanation was clear.
