    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?

    Spot on and welcome George Michael to the mad house!

    0.16 O's here today, rubbish! smiley-sad045.gif

  • Just over 1.2 O's so far today.

    I'm sure that it's been mentioned on here previously (but I'm not going through 668 pages to check) but everytime I read about O's, I can't help thinking of this:
