A few PUs Installed on a 450yd long shed, on an old airfield runway.

Anyone for toast

I'm a bit sceptical about it's ability to produce that amount it was well hot the other day without a cloud in the shy, and it wasn't anywhere near that

Dont just do the roof, whack em on the garden too

I bet the claim to that would be a very brief peak reached in some other country

Puts my 1.2kWp array to shame.

On the up side we live off that 1.2kWp array for most of the year. To live totally off solar you need to reduce your usage not increase the array size.

I would put my money on it hitting its peak quite often. Our array is now nearly 5 Years old & can still hit 1.3kWp on a cold but very sunny day. Ok the peaks dont last long but that are possible even outside of the sunnier south.

Edit to add.

Our FITs payments cover our winter generator usage & out Tractor & digger usage. So we are totally cost neutral re our electricity.

Funnily enough PV's work better on cloudy days, on blue days the output drops as the equipment exceeds its optimum working temperature.
Cloudy days give the equipment a chance to cool down.
On a blue day our PV's will knock out about 22 KW in a day but on a breezy day, low temps, and cumulus cloud we get nearer 30 KW.
