I've recently moved into a property that has PV panels. I've no experience of solar systems whatsoever & the PV panels weren't a reason to buy, but a bit of a bonus. I'm still trying to get hold of the certification & paperwork for the system- the owner who installed the panels died & his son took over the house. I think the PV system is maybe 10 years old.
Whilst I'm not yet in a position to feed into the grid (I'm an Octopus customer), I'd have thought that the system should be supplying pretty much all of the power requirements- but this doesn't appear to be the case. Just had my first electrical bill through- and it doesn't seem to be much less than w/o the PV system. For today, the system display says it's developed 8.4 kWh today- which seems plenty!
I'd appreciate some input from the community as to what may be happening-
