    Hopefully your new house is relatively new, as older panels are clearly inferior

    I didn't know "Os" could begin with a 4.

    Here's a list from a while back, but note the start, it's all just made up silliness:

    Bear in mind this is all made up nonsense and only relates to this thread, on this site, but here goes:

    2 O's is a Bond (double O 7)
    3 O's is a TyphOOO (you only get an OOO etc)
    4 O's is a Wink (4O winks)
    5 O's is a Hawaii (Hawaii 5O)
    6 O's is a Maiden (an over in cricket with no score or O score)
    7 O's is a Heaven (7th heaven)
    8 O's ....... not sure we have one for 8, but not sure anyone has managed an 8 either ...... any suggestions?

    I think 'potato' was suggested for 8 O's, but can't remember if anyone has managed one yet.

    Mart.

    PS Got my first Bond of the year yesterday.
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

    Surely 8 has got to be an OctOpus

    BTW what is an O and how do you guys know how many you are getting? From your meter / inverter or have you purchased additional kit to measure it?
