    Think you can be happy with that: I only made 1.64 O's...:(...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).

    Well a mixture of cloud, wind, rain and sunny spells early on didn't bode well for the rest of the day but on arriving home, having taken TGLW out for her birthday lunch she was eventually greeted with a surprising 5.17 O's. As I'd forgotten one it made a nice pressie for her! :D

    If you looked at the graph you would say it was atrocious but the morning was poorish and afternoon was better. Very big peaks and troughs!

    4.13 O's

    About 1.5 kWh behind estimate.

    Opposite way round for me, but a reasonable 3.62 O's.

    7 kWh ahead of estimate at the moment.

    Below average generation day, but the cold temps, cold rain showers, and blue skies between, meant my 3.58kW ESE system kept bouncing against the 3.68kW inverter cap repeatedly ....... not that I'm obsessed with this stuff ........ of course!
    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.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.

    Happy with my 3.48 Os. One of those rare days when the east roof made more than the west.
