I think I got about 1.6kwh today. You do have to remember that we live in a woodland so get less direct sun time due to the canopy.

I've been told the £2500 Grant will end in 2010 in favour of feed in tariffs.  This is driving me to get a 1.6KW system fitted.

I would say that is not a bad price, i did my own 640 watt system ant that cost me about £3300 by the time i had it certified.
as i was doing DIY i could not get the grant.
