    Barely a cloud in the sky all day coupled with low single figure temps.
    Pretty much perfect pv weather. 👌

    13.68 O's over the last 4 days; bit more accurate the morrow,,,,
    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).
