Thanks,

Yes James, they do increase from April Fools day. What I do is submit two readings. One for the 31st. of March and another for the date your 1/4 reading is due...:)
Only 1.96 O's today; this has now become the best this year. Gooood times are a coming......

Hi there everyone,
We had our system fitted last summer and we're very happy with it. However I want to be able to track my output live on PV Output instead of manually typing in the information every day.
Can some kind soul tell me what I need, and what I need to do in order for the updates to happen automatically please?
Or at least point me in the direction of the information I need?
Many thanks, and hopefully a very sunny New Year to you all!:rotfl:12x327 Sunpower Panels (3.92kWp), Fronius IG35+ Inverter, 25 deg. pitch, Halesowen, SSW facing, no shading.0 -

May be a silly question from some one who has not got panels yet but curious to what is ment by 1.78 0's to come to a total of 6.99KW
Take a look at Oscargrouch's signature for your answer!2 kWp SEbE , 2kWp SSW & 2.5kWp NWbW.....in sunny North Derbyshire17.7kWh Givenergy battery added(for the power hungry kids)0 -
Tis getting better here, my 2kWp SSW is already hitting 300Wh generation, coupled with the other 2 systems I'm at least covering my baseload...more than can be said of yours from looking at your energyhiveOscargrouch wrote: »What a B Awful Day so far, no sign of getting better.....

O's, aka Oscars (after our very own Oscargrouch), ho's (because I like mine fast and loose!), or Efficiency (as referred to by PVOutput), is a simple calculation that allows pv arrays of different sizes, locations and orientations to be compared simply.
Oscar's signature has the math:
'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels)
So Andy_WSM generated on Friday 2/1/15 6.99kWh. His pv system is 3.92kWp so 6.99 ÷ 3.92 = 1.784kWp, SSE, SolarEdge P300 optimisers & SE3500 Inverter, in occasionally sunny Corby, Northants.
Now with added Sunsynk 5kw hybrid ecco inverter & 15kWh Fogstar batteries. Oh Octopus Energy too.0
