[QUOTE="binky, post: 526804, member: 490"] This is one of the things that has been overlooked in the hunt for FiT payments, the norm has been to target th ehigher summer outputs at the expense of winter outputs, which is when we all use more leccy. Plus we mostly install on roofs, so pitch is determined by the roof. With a ground array, you can customise the pitch to the sun for winter performance, or install a wind turbine of course. Attached below is the official figures for 1kw of panels and their expexcted outputs over a year determined by angle to the sun and pitch, and region of the UK. Unfortunately it doesn't give details spread over the year, just and average for the year. It's also out of date as panel performance has improved significantly since these figures were published, but is till a useful tool. [/QUOTE]
