    Best day since last August, 4.8 O's for yesterday.

    Managed to use nearly 85% of that, with EV recharged, fully heated hot water & ASHP running.

    Apologies for the nooby question, I've looked back some pages, but theres over 1100 pages.

    What is o's
    Yesterday I had 47kwh's
    I have 2 x 3.6 kw inverters and 10.6kw of panels.
    I'm assuming the O's is to do with kw/panel or kw/ kw of panels?

    Divide your daily generation by your kWp.

    47 / 10.6kW = 4.43 O's
    4kWp (black/black) - Sofar Inverter - SSE(141°) - 30° pitch - North Lincs
    Installed June 2013 - PVGIS = 3400
