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

    1.46 O, a not completely cloud free day, but pretty close. I think 1.75 would be around the absolute best achievable at the moment for me.

    I have a recent thread going on my LG bi-facial panel rooftop installation. Paired to 10 SE Optimizers and a SE HD Wave 3.68 kW inverter. Generation here. Panel level generation breakout here.

    Generated 3.71 kWh today. What's interesting is that the right side panels don't appear to be generating as much as the left, despite having Solar Edge Optimizers and no significant shading. Any thoughts on the cause? How is the system doing for SE London?
    -  10 x 400w LG + 6 x 550W SHARP BiFacial Panels + SE 3680 HD Wave Inverter + SE Optimizers. SE London.
    -  Triple aspect. (22% ENE/ 33% SSE/ 45% WSW)
    -  Viessmann 200-W on Advanced Weather Comp. (the most efficient gas boiler sold)

    Feel free to DM me if I can help with any energy saving!

    A whole O is an elusive beast for me in December, and I'm yet to see one this year, but got a nice 0.68 O yesterday and predicting 102% for December, 106% for 2019, and a best year ever by roughly 10 O's.
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh 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.
