    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).

    1.8 Os here yesterday

    Strewth ..... I got 0Os. Or, to make it look a bit bigger, 0kWhs!

    Mart. :(
    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.
  • Further South here East of the M11, I scored 1.34 Os.

    Pre Xmas resolution: Never mind the environment, I must do some more tree pruning.

    Should it not be Os (plural), rather than O's (belonging to O) though?
    No. An apostrophe is acceptable in the plural of a single letter, although it is falling out of use - see http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/words/apostrophe (towards the end)
    2kWp Solar PV - 10*200W Kioto, SMA Sunny Boy 2000HF, SSE facing, some shading in winter, 37° pitch, installed Jun-2011, inverter replaced Sep-2017 AND Feb-2022.
