    I got 6.03 O's today (24.11) and its dropped to 1w at 8:30 so the day is over.

    Very pleased, day 3 of my new solar install and i'm currently looking through the inverter data as for some reason i find this all very interesting.

    It came on a 5.00 and switched off at 20:45. It could have been my first 6 Os but sadly it ended at 5.98 Os.

    Well done, oldskool, on getting 6 Os so quickly.

    Second best day ever (29.9Kwh) or 7.5 O's.

    Record was 05/06/2014 - 30.5Kw/h

    Getting close to that - plenty of dips today would be nice to hit that magic 8 O's - doubt it'll ever happen but next few weeks bear best chance.
