Looks genuine enough and not selling anything so please don't give the
OP too hard a time.

People who are on the previous much less generous FIT contract are livid
about the new more generous deal not being available to early adopters.
And have accumulated experience of running them and in this case online
realtime and historic data. eg.

I am thinking about installing PV at the moment - not because I believe
they will save the planet (at this latitude PV is crazy) but because it
provides a viable long term return on investment!

I will probably join and pass the link on to a few friends who already
have PV arrays and/or campaign for energy efficiency and green energy. I
hope you do manage to get enough critical mass to share experiences.

It's only a money thing with me. It's a lot better deal than leaving
money in the bank to rot these days. The return in my case is
projected to be 11.5%.
Only been running for three weeks but it looks achievable. But only a
full year will tell for sure.
I need to do 10kwh/day average over the whole year. So far about 19kwh/
day. Obviously things will not be as good in Winter but should
improve as days lengthen.
