    I understand what the solar panel output in Kw or Kwh is but what does the "O's" that get used on here refer to?

    Looks like January may be following the same vein as December as I've currently only produced a nats over 13kWh on my PVGIS estimate so far. My solaredge graph is showing an upward trend but I think I'd need every day to be sunny for the rest of the month to break evensmiley-sad005.gif

    Thanks edwink.
    I only had my PV panels fitted a few weeks ago so am still learning the lingo.
    My system comprises of 15 panels in 2 separate arrays with a total combined power of 3.8kWp.
    The generated total yesterday was 5.57kWh so would I be correct in saying that my O's yesterday were 1.46?

    Yes that is correct. :T

    You wait until the summer months we have an array of wonderful quirky names such as an Hawaii for 5 O's generated. Don't worry you will get used to it all. :D

    Lots of friendly slight barmy posters on this thread. All I can say is you will get used to them all as well - eventually. :rotfl:
