    Interesting, that despite variations of locality, pitch and kWp; submissions seem to be within a ballpark figure, apart from localized 'SNOW'.... Long Live the O's system...:) Not too bad a day here...2.68 O's..:beer:..coffee.gif
    2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.
    Reg. for FIT Nov 2011. "It's not what you generate; it's how you use it that matters". One very clean Vauxhall Diesel Sri, £30.00 Road Tax: B)

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

    Yep, same(ish) here with almost identical reading to Savvy (nearby). 2.9 O's.

    Edit - Forgot to say that Mch gen is bad bad bad so far, currently estimating 90%, but some sunny days coming up which might change this, and the WNW system is actually at 98%.
    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.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.
