Cracking generation down here in Cornwall today too.

My 'repowered' FIT system generated a whopping 30kwh today, in March.
The older replaced panels have never generated more than 25kwh, in the height of the summer.

New panels something like 21% efficent vs i think it was 13% for the original 190w Upsolars, so a very worthwhile change.

There are few very old installations near me. You could get double the square meterage of panels on the same roof, plus there is an unadorned north-facing roof to go after. The home-owner could massively increase the amount of power generated from the same roof while keeping FiT.

However no one seems to know this and the homeowner of the house I'm talking about probably thinks "I've already got solar" and doesn't realise they could probably get 5x the electric...

Last two days have been perfect for PV with not a cloud in the sky 148.1kWh produced (74.4 + 73.7) and 203.8kWh exported (92.4 + 111.4).
Some clouds today and for the next few days though, it was good while it lasted!
