We had an excellent four months (11/3 to 15/7) generating 2037kWh from our 4kW system. After 13 years. Paid £1559.60 on the FiT. Amazing.
‘Twas a very good investment.

@julianc Our solar PV has produced more this August than either 2023 or 2024 - long may the increases continue! Regards, Toodles.

16kw Samsung TDM ASHP. 8.4kw PV, power optimizers 20×420watt panels 6kw SolarEdge inverter.
My system installed in July 2024 has produced 6.4mWh in 2025 so far and produced 2.2mWh in 2024. Details on my Enphase public page here: https://enlighten.enphaseenergy.com/web/uXk45334506/today/graph/months?public=1
@jamespetts Best out of 3! The last 3 September yields: This years is the best yet; I hope the trend will continue next year!😊 Regards, Toodles.

How do you explain the house usage in 2024 was very low compared to other 2 Septembers
@agentgeorge err… Pass! I dunno what caused that! I’ll have to give it some thought. Puzzled Toodles.

I have puzzled over those home consumption figures and though I can’t now recall the ratios of arbitrage for the various price changes over these 3 years nearly, I can only conclude (without peering through all the energy bills to determine the costs per kWh for those different time periods - and my eyesight would be knocked out for the day doing so) that different rates that I would have set in the Tesla app dictated where the solar energy was sent daily. The other factor being that there may well have been some of OE’s ‘savings days’ or whatever that influenced the figures. Sorry not to be more informative on historical information; memory ain’t wot it wos, (did I mention I am 78?😉). Anyway, in case it is of any help to throw some light on the subject, here are the Tesla bar charts over the period
of which I speak. Regards, Toodles.

2025 - now a record year of Solar PV Generation. October 30th any our Solar PV generation has exceeded 3740kWh, our previous yearly record in 2023 for a 9 panel 3.6kW array and well in excess of the installers estimated annual output of 3255kWh. Testament to the dry summer season. Just about £1000 of self-generation at this year's current energy price cap tariff 🙂
