This page gives details of the 1.8kWp system using 10 Sanyo HIT hybrid PV panels and a sunnyboy 1700 grid connect inverter. The system cost £11,300 fully installed, including grid connection charges, and the Government paid £5,400 towards it through the PV grant scheme. Total generated to date (from 3-3-04) = 9559 kWh Total generated in 2010 = 143 kWh (updated weekly) Last week total = 37 kWh, Best week so far = 37 kWh, The system data states that this array should produce 1600 kWhr annually (in 2005 generated 1619 kWhrs, 2006 = 1640 kWhrs, 2007 = 1619 kWhrs 2008 1547 kWhrs).

generated this year. I have signed up to the
Good Energy Home Generation programme in which they will pay me 15p per unit (kWh) for ALL generated units and therefore I don't need a separate Export meter installed. (Sanyo have continued to improve their panels output, see Glyns website for details of a 1.72kWp system using only 8 panels) |
