My installer estimated 7.5 years and i will have my money back
Then that gives me 17.5 years Tax Free Profit
but at this rate i will have my money back in 7 years which will give me 18 tax free years profit
My installer told me my generation should be
2982 kWh by 11/11/2011 (SAP 2005)
This was calculated with SAP 2005
This tool calculates the performance of a PV solar system according to the Governments Standard Assessment Procedure
for Energy Rating of Dwellings (SAP 2005)
There is now a 2009 edition
The 2009 edition tells me i will generate 3071 kWh its more realistic
Only use SAP calculators
My generation in its first year 3855.4 kWh from 11/11/10 to 12/11/2011
from 11/11/2009 to 10/11/2010 i used 5757 kW from the grid (without PV solar)
from 11/11/2010 to 11/11/2011 i have used 4001.5 kW from the grid (with PV solar)
that is a reduction of 1755.5 kW over 30% reduction.
My generation in its second year 3724.6 kWh from 12/11/2011 to 11/11/2012
Energy used from the grid from 12/11/2011 to 11/11/2012
3935 kWh
At 0.12p per kWh (estimated unit cost)
= £456.24
My generation in its third year 3692.6 kWh from 12/11/2012 to 11/11/2013
Energy used from the grid from 12/11/12 to 11/11/13
3754.5 kWh
At 0.12p per kWh (estimated unit cost)
= £450.54
My generation in its forth year 3865.5 kWh from 12/11/2013 to 11/11/2014
Energy used from the grid from 12/11/2013 to 11/11/2014

A 3.36 kWp system with 14x 240 watt Emmvee modules and a Fronius IG Plus Inverter Installed on 09/11/2011 this system has generated 9713.7kWh
up to 05/11/2014
A 3.995kWp system with 17 x 235 watt Schott modules and a Nedap Inverter installed on 11/11/2010 on the left hand side of my roof
The above figures are for this system
A pure black module looks well on a slate roof don't you think this is my friends home Richard who lives in Cambridgeshire he said its a very good investment.
The Apollo GEM
get more from your solar
Below is a 3.5Kwp system with 14 x 250 watt Emmvee modules and a Fronius IG 30 inverter
This was installed on the right hands side of my roof on 10/02/2012
This system has generated 6069.9Kwh
last reading date 05/11/2014
When having a PV solar array installed have a Apollo GEM installed at the same time i have and it runs my immersion heater it will also run an economy 7 heater with the excess energy that my inverter would normally send back to the grid it will reduce your energy bill even more
Exportable Energy used by the Apollo GEM
from 25/6/13 to 26/12/2014 = 4408.5 KWh
Energy savings 4408.5 KWh
Unit price X 0.12p per KWh So even more profit £529.02
a average saving of over £25.00 a month by heating my water with a Apollo Gem
This Apollo Gem is also priming / running my heating system
FREE HEATING / FREE HOT WATER
I cannot wait for the summer!
