ok I design house extensions, one of my clients just fitted 16 PV panels to their south facing roof in Somerset. Today at 2pm blazing sun, the elec meter seemed static. She turned the elec immersion heater on and the meter started moving forwards reasonably quickly, she turned it off and the meter stopped then seemed to quickly stop & jump backwards only hardly moving though. I'm assuming that the immersion was 2Kw so by my simple thinking the PV input was a lot below 2Kw.
Does that sound right because if so the output must be a lot lower through the winter months when it's really needed?
Bearing in mind that I've heard it's roughly £1000 per panel to instal I'm wondering if there is some hype around about performance?
