  • Hi everyone. I am quite late to this thread but could someone explain what the hell are Os and maidens! Incidently I got 17.4kwh with a sunny and cloudy day in greater manchester. I have had solar panels since Jan 2015 and my highest so far is 24kwh but that was on 26 April! Very strange:eek:

    I do have to keep reminding myself the names as I'm new here too. Oscar has this in his sig;
    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).

    Names are : 5 Os Hawaii, 6 Os maiden, 7 Os heaven. Can't remember 4 as it's been a while since I had s 4 ;)
