    Not sure what a Hawaii is but if it means a ton of generation then yesterday we did 6.66 O's. :D :T Generated 40.2 units.

    Three loads of washing, ironing, dishwasher, dinner in the slow cooker, main cooker on as well, copious tea making, and hedge trimming, ...you name it we did it. My old bones were creaking in the gym this morning.

    Prior to that:

    23rd 4.91 O's
    22nd 2.1 O's
    21st 3 O's
    20th 2.17 O's

    Based on your score I would call that the DEVIL for 666:rotfl:

    From what I can remember the O's are as follows:

    1 = O
    2 = Bond as in double O
    3 = Typhoo
    4 = Winks as in 40 winks
    5 = Hawaii 5 O's
    6 = Maiden as in Maiden over no runs of 6 balls.
    7 = Heaven as in 7th heaven
    8 = Spud as in Pot 8 O's
    3.975 kWp Solar PV System. Capital of the Wolds

    Thanks Merlin

    In that case I'm claiming a (devil of a ) maiden for yesterday.

    I remember that one because I spent ages trying to think of something and came up with naught. Then asked Wifey, who in a matter of seconds went "4 O's" ....... "4O's" ........ "40 winks", and the 'Wink' was born.

    Didn't quite get a Wink yesterday, fell short at 3.78 O's, but that was some great generation.

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