One Year Later: Annual UK Solar Panel Output
After 12 months of of having our solar panels we have now reached that landmark of one year's solar generation. The annual output from our PV Solar Panels has surpassed even our wildest expectations and despite what was estimated to be the worst summer for 100 years we still generated 3095kWh of electricity over the year.
Rain on our solar panels was a common sight this year but even with the appalling summer weather we still generated 30% more than the SAP 2009estimates given with our quotes. The generation varied from 0kWh for a snowy day in February to 20.6kWh for the sunniest summer day. You can read more details here of solar panel UK output records
Without the inverter error in August I would expect our solar panels to have generated 3250kWh over the year which would equate to 1083kWh per kWP of solar panels. This is substantially above the normal estimates for the UK of around 800-900kWh of electricity per kWp of installed solar panel capacity.

The solar panels are made from excellent materials that guarantees durability. The emphasis is not on the amount of the solar cells but more on the overall components of the whole panel.
