    This is the first time I've looked at this thread, my panels were installed in late December and I only got a view of my panels' power production yesterday after the supplier enabled the website for me (although I could look at the units installed, the webapp makes things a lot easier to understand).
    So, in light of all that, forgive me for asking, but what are some of the things that forumites describe? What is Hawaii, what is Maiden and what is measured in "Os"?
    Today is sunnier than yesterday (10.6kWh produced so far) and there is still an hour and 10 minutes until sunset!

    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? (Thanks to Mart)!....coffee.gif
