    Ok I'm new to the Lingo and I know I could read through 635 pages, what are O's?
    I generated 4.86kW today, so if I follow is that 1.2O's, I so hope this isn't some inside joke ;)

    It's a system intended to make comparison between different systems slightly more meaningful by dividing the day's output in kWh by the system size in kWp. Alas, that is but one of the factors that determine a system's output so I don't consider it a very reliable comparison but I guess it's slightly better than no correction at all.

    What would help even more would be for all contributors to this thread to include system size, approx. location and the roof alignment angles (popping it into autosig is relatively painless))

    Think you may have cracked it assuming you have a 4Kwp system and you say generated 4.86 kW today 4.86/4 = 1.215 O's. Every decimal point counts during these dark old days..welcome to the funny Farm...:rotfl:..coffee.gif
