    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
    Sofar ME3000SP Inverter & 5 x Pylontech US2000B Plus & 3 x US2000C Batteries - 19.2kWh
