Woo-hoo 32 for September!!!


Ok, they were just installed a few days ago! So that'll be a FIT of about £4.48....only £8095.52 to go to recoup the cost then!!! Please reassure me this is worth it  ;)

With the holidays , weddings over and my back pain easing I've finally gone & got a reading a few minutes ago.

It shows a total of 3008.07 since we had it installed at the begining  of  Feb this year .

Last time we looked at the end of April it was as below .


current     796.17
previous   468.91
 April       327.26


so .... 1 May till 1 Oct

 3008.07 minus 796.17 = 2211.90 KWhr generated .
 
So far for 8 months the average is 376.125 KWhr   ...not bad indeed as 50% is classed as being exported and attracting our lower tariff
 
So average for summer then 2211.90 / 5 = 442.38 KWh per month .

 Now to post / publish it and see how it compares with you other guys.

 One big change we had to make just before the end of June that is showing us benefits was that our 10 yr old dryer's main bearing  died .  The dryer owed us no favours , that's for sure , so we ended up getting a top of the range condensing dryer that acts like a fridge to dry the moist air.
 It's a triple A rating Bosch , is plumbed into the waste water to take the condensate away , has that reduced our power usage or what .

Tis a far cry form the first condensing dryer i had back in 1984 you had to plumb it into the house water to get the cooling of the condensate effect , it cost a bomb to run as it was using something like 4.3 KWHr.

280 for September, 45 down on last year. It's been drier this year I'm sure, just not so sunny.  :)


Cloddopper, our total (4kW array) for the period 1st May to 1st Oct was 2269, so much the same.  :thumbsup:

According to my other half we should have more sunshine down south, but it comes in the winter!   :-\

We're in one of the sunniest places in Scotland, 1500 annual hours of sunshine on average according to the MO, compared with 1750 in the sunniest place on mainland Britain.  :sunshine:

I used to live in Crianlarich in the western highlands, where you knew it was summer because the rain was warmer. This ditty definitely applied there:

It rained and rained and rained and rained,
The average was well maintained;
And when our fields were simply bogs,
It started raining cats and dogs.
After a drought of half an hour,
There came a most refreshing shower;
And then the queerest thing of all,
A gentle rain began to fall.

Next day 'twas pretty fairly dry,
Save for a deluge from the sky.
This wetted people to the skin,
But after that the rain set in.
We wondered what's the next we'd get,
As sure as fate we got more wet.
But soon we'll have a change again,
And we shall have..... A drop of rain

I like that poem .

I lived just north of Carlisle for the best part of three years , close to Talkin Fell .
Ye gods and goddesses did it rain on the west side up there , right in off the Atlantic free of charge .
