I've just had the FIT payment from EON for the 3 months to the end of May.
£891.27... an all time record. 1,566 kw/h generated!
No wonder that Solar and Wind are taking over the bulk of power generation and the future of the new build nuclear power stations is being questioned.
I'm paid 55p/kwh, the strike rate for the Dogger Bank wind farm is about 45p/kwh and the projected strike rate for Sizewell B is 96p/kwh.

Presume that is solar Peter ? If so what area do you have with panels?
That does seem a lot of power, as the hot and sunny weather only really arrived in second half April, so only 50% of the period?

Peter, I put into British Gas for 1675 kWh but sadly at a far lower rate as this array only went up when we moved here is 2018.

It is the most power generated in any 3 month period since the panels went on the roof in November 2011! It is a nominal 4kwh set, the maximum allowed at the time under the then very generous FIT Scheme. We are located at ///trump.zapped.thread and the panels face South East.

I submitted my reading to BT & today have an email asking for a phot of the meter as they don't believe the number. They think it is too high.
Admittedly it is 1780 kWh vs 1320 kWh last year.

Me too, too high they said, asked me for a photo. Is it because they no longer send a meter reader round very year or so, as they once did here in Suffolk?

Could be. I am glad I am not alone. I think going forward I will take at photo at every FIT submission but that means moving a lot of junk (AKA  coat collection & part shoe collection) to see the meter. I usually use the WIFI dongle on the inverter output which is within 10 kWh of the meter, sometimes higher sometimes lower.
