    Can I join in please? We've had our system just a couple of weeks, and just had our best day yet. 4.83 O's :j I think is correct.
    It has made me worry that we rather oversized our panels compared to inverter though :o I've got a flat topline for nearly 3 hours today and we have hit the limit quite a lot since the system was installed.
    4.8kWp of panels with a 3.6kW inverter. What do you think?? :huh:
    Welcome to the Looney Bin..:D Don't know why they do that: I have a 2.5 kWp system with an inverter capped @3.6...sometime I have an output of over 3 kW. Perhaps Mart will explain??..:D:rotfl: A not too shabby 4.52 O's for me here and today...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).

    Got a Typh000 on Sunday, 3.1 O's, and nearly another yesterday with 2.69 O's.

    Target is slipping, projecting 88% for Mch, and the weather forecast doesn't look like it'll be going up.
    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.
