Another 4 O's today making four on the trot and totalling 67 for Feb compared to a predicted 45. Extraordinary!:D

Definitely in the right ball park. If you post your generation figure and the peak rated output of your panels (not the inverter) we can check it.

Thanks for that, my generation was 7.016 , the other figure I used is called PV SolarSystem rating 1795kwh (sap 2005)

I can't tell if that is the right number. How many panels do you have and what is the rated output of each panel (e.g. 250W, 280W, etc.)?

Mnd

I have 10 panels, facing east znshine 250w MS

last 6 days = 28.74 O's = 58% monthly PVGIS

Should be at about 155% PVGIS for month at end of today.

From #22204 my generation was 7.016


From #22195 First time I've worked out my O's 3.93 does that sound about right?

7.016 ( kWh ?)
10 x 250 Wp = 2.5kWp


7.016 / 2.5 would give 2.8064

That's right, so not as good as Mnd thought. At least you know how to work it out now.

(Mind you, even using the 1795W figure would have given you roughly 3.91 Os, not 3.93.)

Thank you for your help, so now I've got my Os..what do I do with them?

You post them here every day

Thanks Kevin, that made me laugh
I've gone 7.25 years not knowing about Os and now my life has changed forever
TBH, I've only ever worried about the whole number on the meter in the shoe cupboard and won't be clambering into the loft to check the .001 on the inverter.
I hope I will be able to sleep tonight and not worry about my Os;)
