    I think that the Daily Mail is reporting today from a parallel universe with people heading to Brighton Beach. The weather here at the centre of England is dreadful. At 18:00 it is dark with heavy rain. Windy all day. Generated 10.6 kWh, 2.80 O, which is surprising in the circumstances.

    Cheers guys,
    I did try looking back through the thread to find out ...... I even tried google !
    So the point is that it's a way of comparing generation that levels out the difference between people's system sizes ?
    The Hawaii 50 ( book em Danno ) I get now .
    If in doubt ask I always say.
    Nobby.

    Hiya nobby, yep just silly fun, and a way to compare your system's performance on a given day to that of another, anywhere in the world on a size for size basis.

    Nicknames in use so far:

    2 O's is a Bond (double O agent!)
    3 O's is a Typhooo
    4 O's is a Wink (40 winks)
    5 O's is a Hawaii (Hawaii 5O)
    6 O's Don't think we've got a 6 O nickname yet - any suggestions?
    7 O's - I don't care, coz my system won't hit one, so I don't want to play anymore. :o

    Mart.
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh 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.

    Is that right ...
    Cloudier today though as only 4.83 kWh so far .
    Nobby.

    Hi Nobby,
    What you should have posted is a Hawaii + 1.22 O's (5 + 1.22) you will get the jist, once you learn to type with your straight jacket on..:rotfl:

    3.72 O's for me , bummer.....smiley-signs015.gif...coffee.gif
    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).
