Cheers lads, to all that are in on this one and all that are coming in later on Kirkhill. Its a truly surreal feeling and that chart is just messing with my mind. For reference, my personal best to date this year from PV is 21kWh and I was incredibly happy with thT

And its wall to wall sunshine with a stiff wind so I reckon I might generate 50 kWh on solar PV in addition to 70 kWh on the WT1.

120 kWh in a single day. :twisted:
18.7kW PV > 109MWh generated
Ripple 6.6kW Wind + 4.5kW PV > 26MWh generated

60kWh Home battery storage
40kWh Thermal storage
GSHP + A2A HP's

Meet ye there. Can get a pint at that pub griffin inn! :)
TBH, it's just hitting home that this is a repeating miracle. Every day... :ugeek:
Looking at Gridwatch has now changed. :D

Great to read, £21M is a big ask if that's around the price or was it £26M? I'll be honest and say that I don't mind how they finance it as long as it gets built and pushes clean energy into the grid. If my 'profit' was to somehow fall (which it won't) I'd still be a part of a 'truly good thing' and proud to be there. Sarah should get in touch with Nicola and see if Scottish govt will fund the remainder as a low cost loan?

If the money has to be borrowed then profits will be reduced. No way round that I don't think.

Didn't the Welsh government buy a chunk of the WT1 co-op? The Scottish government could do likewise or be another co-investor. That would eliminate the need for borrowing.

Sneaked in another 500w of WT2 so both WT1 and WT2 will roughly generate me the same. :mrgreen:
