    I'm sure there's a slight error there somewhere !

    Sunrise should be before local noon and sunset after it. At 69.6492° N, 18.9553° E , Tromso's local noon should be occurring approx. 15 mins before the local timezone's 'official noon' . Sunrise this morning should therefore have been before 11:45 local time and sunset after 11:45(but possibly still before 12:00 local time ?)

    Sunrise in Tromsø, Norway
    11:45
    Tuesday, 27 November 2018 (CET)
    Sunset in Tromsø, Norway

    and the next sunrise/sunset figures are on 15th January. It is a very long time indeed in the gloom.

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