    Would one of you kind lady’s or gentlemen be able to answer a question I can’t seem to find a definitive answer for.

    We brought a house that had a 4kw solar pv setup already installed. We now own the panels and have been receiving fit payments for them. How long will we likely be receiving these fit payments for?

    The panels were commissioned in 2014 and we have a rate of 14.57p I believe.

    Yesterday saw generation of 4.54 O's. It being the first anniversary since installation with the annual total being 118.4% compared to pvgis v4 or 111.7% to v5. Either way an amazing year with only one month returning less than forecast. Who's a lucky boy then!:D


    Today returned a more sober 3.27 O's nudging us closer to equalling forecast for April.
