The solar panels on the Forest Row Community Centre have topped 1MWh of total energy production since they went online in April. 1MWh is the equivalent of 1,000KWh, which is about two fifths of the electricity a typical home uses in a year (Ofgem's typical figure is now 2,500kWh).
The screen shot from our monitoring dashboard above also shows that the panels are working at almost full efficiency (maximum output is 3.85kW). Monthly energy is the amount of energy they have produced so far this month.
The monitoring shows that the panels are likely to be producing enough energy to power the average household for one year, right on track for what we expected. Its great to see them doing so well.
