    If I post O's then I do it like this: 5 O's :D
    If I post kWh's then I do it like this: 15 kWh's :D

    I know what I have produced. My Generation Meter also knows. Someone else also knows but I am unable to say who. :( :cool:

    I have been told that the information is now classified! :D:D:D:D:D

    Until it is declassified I am unable to post my generation figures in any other format than that I am using. If anyone has a problem with this I can give you the contact details of the person in charge. :cool:

    I am looking at a possible prison sentence because I disclosed my location without written authority! :mad:

    Ahh, I get it now, you must be in prison, taking your readings from an app on an illegally held mobile phone; your location is making a protest 'on the roof'. :rotfl::rotfl: I can't see the tiny pale blue figures in your signature that Savvy refers to though; is that some type of code word? Perhaps he is your cell mate? :D:rotfl:..coffee.gif
    Edit: You can see the dilemma in my post 17405; no mention of O's or kWh's. If twas 15 kWh's that is 3.7735849 O's..;)
    2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.

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

    With your generation I reckon this is all an elaborate triple bluff, and you actually live opposite the 'walkie talkie' building in London, and get to reflect in its solar glory all day.

    Not jealous of course ...... no Sir, not jealous. :drool:

    Poor cloudy morning. Sun came around about 12:15 :D

    Ended the day with 4.13 ;)
    Which did not of course include either kWh or O !

    Without quoting some sort of unit, the post becomes meaningless to anyone.

    Indeed, I'd even go a bit further and point out that anyone posting generation figures (whatever units they choose to use) without including information about location of site, the slope & orientation of the panels and total kWp is being less than helpful. At least Merlin's posts include that info.

    Are you living on the roof with a bank of lights connected to an extension lead?:rotfl:
