Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms Is your PV solar array generating more

Hoping to move into a new bungalow shortly. This has heat pump powered under floor heating and 12 pv panels on the roof. Was expecting 3+kW with such an array but electrician doing first fit reckons they are low power ones and to expect around 2kW. Guess its the minimum the builder could install to benefit from government incentives. No feed in either, apparently tariffs so low nowadays its no longer worth it. Big hot water tank so that will be useful dump of excess power although not sure what programming is possible.

I've experience of pv power generation on a sailing yacht having installed 2 x 150 watt panels myself hooked up to mppt controller, but home systems will present a new learning curve for me.
