Morning all
New to Solar!
What is 'O's'? Output? - I have a 3.03kkWH system and yesterday I made .04 kWh - so do I say 0.4 O's? ha ha
I did start to worry that this is far too low.. but I guess it is working.. just not as i had expected?2 -

Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels). (Copied from his Signature)
To work it out it would be 0.04 / 3.03 = 0.0132 O's3.795 kWp Solar PV System. Capital of the Wolds3 -
Very dull and wet morning. Eventually brightened up a bit - 0.39 O's
