that's how much it has generated from our 8 solar panels on the roof 8 i think but was installed buy the council but they have never been cleaned or had the inverter serviced since it was installed.
Does the excess feed into the grid and do you get paid? The owner of my local pub has panels at his home, tells me British Gas haven't paid him for 2 years because his smart meter can't connect. He's about to take them to Small Claims Court.

They've even enslaved your roof! If you listen intently at night, it's murmuring this

like everything you need massive power to do damage over distance.

Was this question directed at me?. If so the answer is not yet. Regulations were enacted by the Dail ..Irish parliament , last March , requiring that payment be made. In the case of people who have smart meters, that has been implemented, but as I don't yet have one , not yet. However an estimated amount will be credited to me., Backdated to March, and assuming a certain percentage of my output was fed back into the grid. That rate is at the old 16 cents per KW hr ..not the peak 43cents My array is 3.6KW peak, but configured in a Due South and West dual string configuration, so I would be getting less peak power ,but more sustained power over the day. My best daily intake was 24kwhrs on 20 july ,but even today which was very mixed rain cloud , sun it was 8.4kwhr

My pub landlord has been taking photos of his readings as evidence for his court case - as they contain GPS co-ordinates, time and date in the EXIF data recorded by his phone camera app. That they're only planning on paying you estimates, seems wrong. And if they over-estimate, won't they screw you over again claw the excess back later?

is at the old 16 cents per KW hr
That's too low, considering the mad unit rate they're selling at! You've had the solar panels installed at your own cost. Very likely the result of lobbying.

8 days?!?!? How? Did it fly itself over? Must have already been in a UK warehouse?

Do all Old Carthusians have the same resting rictus with eyes wide open expression Jeremy Cunt sports? If memory serves (and it does) the answer is yes: 100% of all I've met. Looks exhausting. The gene pool of the upper classes is too small. The rich really are different, and the same.

My local council is giving away solar panels if you earn less than 30k....no strings attached they belong to you from day 1. I can see that happening more and more,like they did with free loft insulation.
Bit large for beer tokens?

Happy to see no strings attached, ..those lads have to be very well bolted down, with expensive customised fittings... But seriously they should limit them to say 5 panels per household. . It is better that any limited supply be dispersed anf the 5 panels would give 1.2 Kw peak.

Maybe squirting a bit of xylometazoline or oxymetazoline nasal spray at the eyes. This contracts the tiny Müller’s muscle in the back of the upper eyelid to raise it, actually widening an open eye. It also constricts blood vessels, so the whites of the eyes appear whiter.

Similar to the old public school dodge of rubbing some foamed up soap onto the cheeks to give a rosy cheeked healthy look as it acts as an irritant, bringing blood to the surface.

The elite learn these tricks from each other to help them get ahead on special occasions in interviews, meetings etc.
