2 arrays (3 by 2) of Hyundai 218Wp.
Supplier quoted KWp is 2.54
System installed on 06 May 2011.
I am monitoring power generated, mains usage and estimated feed back ( read from an EF energy monitor) to grid each day.
As I expected i am consuming about 25% of the total generated. Time alone will show the percentage usage for a 12 month period. Estimates of 80%, used by companies contacted for cost estimates are wildly in error.
I am treating the installation as an experiment and after 40 days I am optimistic about a good return using the FIT tariff scheme.
Choosing a panel was an interesting exercise. I eventually chose the system with the least price per KWp.
Beware of suppliers who try dropping their estimated price!
