Hi, All,
I'm thinking seriously about installing these PV panels and am looking for
advice. I have a feeling there could be some expertise on this ng. I
estimate about 2,200 kWh per annum for Copley from available data on the
web, although the installers that I have quotes from reckon a touch more
(believe it or not!)
I hope to wire the immersion heater through them and use as much as I can
rather than export. I have until April to decide as the FIT payment is
reduced again then.
I am thinking of a 3kW system. Does anyone out there have them? Are they
any
good overall or are they a con?
Any guidance much appreciated.

Copley still cold and cloudy 8cm snow lying and 1cm fresh fall this
morning,
but it's melting slowly (:0)
