    3.5 Os. I had to export some power today: washing machine is broken and tumble dryer is idle. Domestic & General visits on Thursday.
    I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".

    Bear in mind this is all made up nonsense and only relates to this thread, on this site, but here goes:

    2 O's is a Bond (double O 7)
    3 O's is a TyphOOO (you only get an OOO etc)
    4 O's is a Wink (4O winks)
    5 O's is a Hawaii (Hawaii 5O)
    6 O's is a Maiden (an over in cricket with no score or O score)
    7 O's is a Heaven (7th heaven)
    8 O's ....... not sure we have one for 8, but not sure anyone has managed an 8 either ...... any suggestions?

    No Hawaii today....:mad: only 3.64 O's....coffee.gif
    2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.
    Reg. for FIT Nov 2011. "It's not what you generate; it's how you use it that matters". One very clean Vauxhall Diesel Sri, £30.00 Road Tax: B)

    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).
