No, it's not too personal Chris.
Our system is grid connected. We claim for ROCs and what we export on a yearly basis.
So far we have figures for our first year but that was actually 5 weeks less than the full year due to the fact that our originally fitted total meter wouldn't work and there was a delay in fitting a new one.
We claimed 9 ROCs £379
Exported 7mW £143
Used on site 2mW £270
Total £792
We also used less oil.
Our system cost us about £14,000 after taking into consideration the initial grant that we had.
This year we will probably export a little less as we are using more on site (EV). Also prices have gone up this year which will add about another £200.
Next year the amount for ROCs seems set to double which will add another £400.
As you can see payback time looks to be getting closer than our original estimate of 15 plus years!
Hope this answers a few of your queries.
