    Hi, Welcome to the thread. The O's are worked out as per my signature; the other bits are as follows:-

    1 O's is a UN0..
    2 O's is a Bond (double O agent!)
    3 O's is a Typhooo
    4 O's is a Wink (40 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 - I don't care, coz my system won't hit one, so I don't want to play anymore.
    8 O's is a SPUD! (as in 8 O's Potato)

    Not a very good day, only managed 3.76 O's...:eek:...coffee.gif

    2.5 O's here, poor start, but good finish.

    I think that list was me have a fun strop, and we do have a 7, was it heaven .... I keep forgetting?

    BTW Hawkwind, the O's are us joking around and calling them Oscars, the real term is kWh/kWp, but that's quite a mouthful, so O's for short.
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh 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.

    Close - but no cigar.

    19.22 / 3.78 is actually 5.084 not 5.84
