Aye, replication time. :twisted:

Cost per month of DW for me is £4,617 / 9 monthly payments = £513

For April,
FIT1 - £289
FIT2 - £79
Ripple GF - £137
Total - £505

Actual bills - £47

Surplus - £458

Saving on 893 kWh (onsite solar actually used) even at cheapslot rate of 7.5p / kWh is £67 + surplus of £458 = £525.

DW pays for itself with enough left over for a decent bottle of red. :mrgreen:

I thought there was enough left over for a Penfolds Max, but the subtraction in my head failed, so I'll have to limit it to a Penfolds Koonunga Hill. :lol:

Not all days are good days. I am also accommodating to a cab suav or merlot. :D
This could be a new scale to judge how well a solar day we had? :lol: 8-)

Yesterday was a Penfold Max day, today looks like being back on the Koonunga Hill.

But tomorrow looks like a Lanson Black Label Champagne day. :twisted:

Official generation numbers for April at GF are now in so time for the monthly capacity factor graph for April, we now have the first full month of the second year of operation. :twisted:

Capacity Factor (CF) for April was 23.7%, slightly above baseline. :D

The current month of May is unfortunately the lowest baseline month of the year. :evil:

There is going to be a live stream lunchtime Q&A tomorrow (1.30PM Thursday 4th May) with Sarah Merrick, Ripple’s CEO, regarding the current open Project 3 solar farm Derril Water.

I wonder if they will let slip how much they have sold so far. ;)
