Sorry to be pedantic but it is "MWh" not "mWh".
12x 340W JA Solar panels (4.08kWp)
3x 380W JA Solar panels (1.14kWp)
5x 2.4kWh Pylontech batteries (12kWh)
LuxPower inverter/charger

and a a good job too! I should have proof-read it more carefully... What is the answer though?

In your Ripple account it will have a figure for the volume of the WT that you bought in Watts and another figure which is the expected output of the WT that will come to you. The exciting bit is of course that it could go up or down. I own 2,609W and that should generate around 6,900kWh of power.
Somewhere around 2.64kWh per annum per Watt of turbine owned. Each of those kWh generated is worth about 8p to you.

My account only shows the wattage I own.

Where is the other figure? I

I wondered whether we should divide our owned bit into the gross estimated output. Is that 2.3 MW, or am I misrembering?
Anyway, thanks for the numbers.

Checked again and the output No is no longer there. It may have been removed when they updated the timeathon? If memory serves, I was around 6,907kWh anticipated so multiplying your owned Watts by 2.64 should be close to the predicted personal output from WT1?

Thank you, it is there. Not quite so optimistic as the figures we have been looking at but worth having anyway. Virtuous too!

Its great to think that it will (with fortune and a smooth run) be outputting next month. :D

I think buy in to WT2 at a payment level will be coming soon too? Hopefully next couple of weeks. It would be nice to start the New Year as meaning to go on. :ugeek:

The EV charging card from Octopus arrived yesterday. Stinsy pointed out the cleverness of the Graig Fatha Turbine being linked to our Octopus accounts as is the EV charge card, this means that we can run our cars off of the Wind Turbine. Just pointing that out as it is rather cool. 8-)

Apols for the convoluted way i presented that!

I have read a few posts here and on moneysavingexpert but am still confused.

If I signed up to the 2023 wind farm does anyone have any numbers for the expected savings (or even better what the expected electric price would be that I would pay?)

Sorry if that seems silly but I’m still struggling to work out real numbers!
