    What will you achieve then? It may matter!

    Sunless here too.

    I am calling it at 1.658163265306122*... O's (6.5 kWh).

    *(I reserve the right to revise this figure up if it makes a difference :rotfl:)

    It's 1.82, so pretty dreadful. Sun not sighted.
    I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".

    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).

    ...had my solar panels installed last week :)

    Can I join this thread and post up my 0's?

    I presume its the daily kg of CO that people are posting up? Is that right?

    Cheers
