My 1.5kW system from BBE has generated 545kWh since 22/1/2010 (90 days),
giving me 6kWh/day, or $3/day, or 4 effective hours of peak production per
day.
It will be interesting to see how this behaves as the temperature cools, as
I have monocrystalline panels which derate significantly with higher
temperatures.

I had no problems with either product or installation, although Peter Barker
is having a lot of problems actually getting stock for his system from BBE.
