    So rather than trawling through 3057 pages of this thread, may I ask what an "O" or even a "Hawaii" are in this context? :)

    I'm guessing "O" is kWh generated/kWp of the system?

    4.8 kW array, Growatt SPH5000 inverter, 1x Seplos Mason 280L V3 battery 15.2 kWh.

    OSCAR.GROUCH STATES THAT AN 0 IS.

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

    Thanks, now I just have to work out whether the output "today" as displayed on my Growatt SPH5000 inverter is the last 24h or since midnight. I'm guessing last 24 hours?

    We used to force people to read the whole thread, but then the International Court of Justice in the Haque wrote and said:

    "Oi. Cut it out!"
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.

    Thanks for relenting! But I still don't know what a Hawaii is. ;)

    I'm going to have to monitor the system as I'm not totally convinced that they are the Hyundai 400W panels I was quoted for, so maybe it will be useful to compare generation with anyone who is reasonably close by.
