    Only an O here, and the weather hasn't been as good as Mr Weatherman promised, but still predicting 117% for the month, and only 10kWh (approx 2 days gen) short of October target.

    Welcome to the thread. If you take a look at Oscargrouch Signature its explained there.

    7.81 / 4.65 = 1.68 O's

    Most of us have our system details in our signature so you can get an idea of how well we are doing. You could add yours showing what you have stated icluding angle and orientation.

    Just over an O each day for the last three days. Weather forecast predicted more sun, but not as good as expected up in the Welsh Valleys. Went Swansea way yesterday and it was brilliant sunshine !
    However, should still hit PVGIS target for October in the next couple of days as only 5.6 kWh to go.
