Or at least anywhere in the world that happens to have same latitude, longitude & altitude as you do (as long as roof geometry is the same)Martyn1981 wrote: »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.

Nope, you still don't get it! So once more for the cheap seats, comparing and explaining are two different things.
You can compare your system to any other system, any size, anywhere in the world.
Some examples to start you off:
2O's is more than 1O.
3O's is less than 4O's.
5O's is more than 4O's.
4O's is less than 6O's.
If you need more examples to help compare numbers, then just let me know.
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.

What I don't get is how comparing one system in (say) Cardiff with another in (say) Mexico City gives you any benefit whatsoever !Martyn1981 wrote: »Nope, you still don't get it! So once more for the cheap seats, comparing and explaining are two different things.
