Just sent you a pm speak to @AlexMcGowan urgentlyOver the course of a year we export about 35% of the total generated. Obviously the proportion used is going to vary massively from busines to business, but our regular operations get thru quite a lot of electricity, especially when it's hot.
We're exporting ~48,000kwh per year at only about 6p. I never really worried too much about the export rate given FIT payments mattered more in the grand scheme of things, but if the going rate for exports is really 20p in these crazy times then I guess I need to establish whether I'm locked in on my rate as I'm missing out on a few £k per year. Could any resident experts please advise? TIA.
Thanks for your reply Farmer 059, so an average of just under 300kw per day. I take it you get a LOT less kw production through the winter months? Is the inverter the same as the G59 connection? Does 15p include your FIT payment and the payment from the grid please?Hi Bungee, our 100kw system (400 ground mounted panels) averages 105,000 kWh production a year, of which some 70% is exported. Renewed my FIT recently from 5 to 15p per kWh exported. We use a solar log to monitor the system and get immediate notification if an inverter drops out, or if there are irregularities in production - well worth the cost.
Only real issue are inverter problems, but fortunately we extended warranty to 20 years, money really well spent!
Good luck, fingers crossed you'll get moreOver the course of a year we export about 35% of the total generated. Obviously the proportion used is going to vary massively from busines to business, but our regular operations get thru quite a lot of electricity, especially when it's hot.

This is the monthly official prediction for an array in the south East complied by OfgemCan anyone please tell me what percentage efficiency you get from new solar panels in Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. I understand it's not an exact answer! If you had 100kw of panels how many kw would you expect to make per hour on average each month/season. TIA
Thanks very much for your reply. Am I right in thinking then that 1kw of installed solar will produce on average 3kw of power per day (obviously a lot more in summer than winter)? TIAThis is the monthly official prediction for an array in the south East complied by Ofgem
This is output for 1Kw of installed panels at a perfect angle South

However this is a very conservative figure and I would happily put a further 10% on these figures as my Mean
Very interesting, thank you. Maybe the manufacturers should change how they label kw's produced by solar panels as they virtually never produce anywhere near the kw per hour that they advertise them at and more often than not it is a LOT less!! Thanks againA typical apr day. With a better morning production would be 50kw
Ignore the prices at bottom, thats calibrated to include an extra 100kw with no tarrif
Me too,I don't know if I can change my export purchaser or not.Currently on 5.7p(pre April 1st 22)which is index linked and alters April 1st each year.Im currently with Eon and have been since the start 2013 with an extension built in 2015.Im not really clued up on this at all.Over the course of a year we export about 35% of the total generated.
