    12kWh (3 O's) surprisingly..with no shade at all my panels are beginning to shine :)

    although the company that made the panels (sunedison) are going bankrupt soon and with that the 25 year warranty!

    by the way EDF pays within 3 days of giving out the reading. (also higher rate from 1st April which I had almost forgot about - the fact that rate goes up every year based on inflation)
    3.99KW SunEdison (14 * 285W) all black, SolarEdge inverter, iBoost+, 27 Oct 2015, London

    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).
