Well, my install happened yesterday. They arrived at 8am and were done by 2.30pm.
I'm currently generating 1.1Kw of power which is rather good for 10.30am on a cold November morning
The photo is the panel of my SolarEdge inverter. The figure top right is the instantaneous power generation figure! My system has a theoretical 2.18kw peak output, so given it's early in the morning with the sun still very low, that's good in my view.
I have 10 panels, all working correctly according to the box.
Figure top left is incoming mains AC voltage. On the next screen if I scroll through it would also show me the incoming mains AC frequency in Hz which is what the National Grid keeps a very beady eye on!
I would happily recommend the company I used to anyone here who might be considering a solar PV install. PM me for details.
You've got about 8weeks until the next feed-in-tarrif drop...
Only downer on the day is that the Immersun unit couldn't be installed. Turns out the plumbers who did my boiler/mains pressure hot water install a few years back bodged the wiring for the electric immersion heater. Instead of it having it's own circuit into the consumer unit, they cut a spur off the socket ring. If I had installed the Immersun in its current configuration, I would have lost all use of the sockets in the house unless I was generating electric! Will be getting an electrician back in next week to sort that, then I can start heating my hot water with the excess solar.
