If meter is going backwards you need to have it changed. Your installers should have told you that. Can't sort out fit with a meter running backwards unless you lie of course!

That's fine OCC, will speak to them either tonight or tomorrow morning, need their advice for completing the FIT forms anyway :beer:

2.1 kW I haven't had that in a week! I haven't seen the sun in ages I'm not even kidding! Best get that meter sorted ASAP so you don't miss out on your fit payments.

I had to have my epc redone (as it had moved up to c after my panels were fitted and was an E before) and it delayed my fit payments application going in and therefore starting for weeks. As fit changes on 31-12-15 it would be prudent to check the meter changes won't effect fit application like the epc did.

We have solar panels! Sitting watching TV, they are generating more power than I'm using and the meter is going backwards, so excited!!! :j :j :j

Thanks OCC, we're already a 'D', so won't bother have the EPC redone. Will check with them when I get in touch, should be ok.

Bit of an anticlimax today after yesterday's craziness, I suppose that's a good thing?

Tried calling my electricity supplier re. magic backwards meter, but they were less than useless, hopefully their FIT team are more clued up.

Considering buying some LED bulbs for our bedroom light fittings, live the dream

Wow. Well done you! I am *so* jealous! I want some!

What's the rough damage for a set? I think I read about £6k somewhere. (I won't be able to afford any before the rate change, then. )

Well done on the amazing amount you have got done in the house so far. It's a wonderful life!

• Sold all Funding C1rcle loan parts with a yield of less than 12%. This has brought up my total yield slightly and taken my profits to date to over £100.
• The sale of my monthly bond fund was completed, purchased its no longer ex dividend quarterly replacement with the monies generated
• DD had enough money in her pocket money pot to purchase another £100 of VLS80. We topped this up with another £9x as a Christmas present to bring her up to £200
• Replaced 3 bedroom lightbulbs with LEDs. Amazing that you can get a 53% saving on energy used when the bulb being replaced is already a low energy bulb :j
• Picked up a somewhat derisory £55 pre-funded investment with Saving Stre@m (secured)
• Paid £100 towards CC so that we can stooze the remaining 75% of the solar panel bill
• Ordered some Christmas presents
• Failed miserably to get the wireless data monitor for the solar panels to work
• Re-arranged delivery of radiators for Friday. Apparently it's kerbside only, the largest one weights 45kg+ :eek:
• Withdrew some monies from P2P accounts as part of efforts to diversify and rebalance. New total £15,339.27 @ 9.95% after fees and tax. Oh well, my 10%+ was fun while it lasted

And another £55 from Saving Stre@m
