Having a 4kWp system installed this Thursday!

Hi Gary...just out of interest, how did you get the estimated numbers...Id like to use the same forula basis what I have done so far to see how my numbers plot out...just out of curiosity of course...

They were taken from a graph plotted by PV*SOL design software using historic climate data i guess.
It'll be good to see how closely my figures follow those.

already at 8KW generated today.....Im loving this winter sun...I hit 360 in total so far in 66 odd days.....whats not to love about having owning your own system, get those FITs in..

Its also worth mentioning that on these super sunny/cold days, the hosue is costing absolutely nothing to run between the hours of 9am and 4pm.....

WOW

It's fantastic! I'm standing at 5.7kW today to present and that's with multiple shadows from the scaffold so happy days!

from your pictures Im very surprised that the scaffolding is casting any shadows...surely the scaffoldig cant be higher than your full roof.....or am I missing somehting here..

you can see my current number for today below

The vertical poles behind where I took the photos are very high and leave shadows up four modules on the bottom row. They extend around half way up each module, confirmed by climbing the scaffolding to check as I thought that would be the case.

Nice figures again with what looks like a good piece of software.
