    Good day at the office today A/an  + 1.28 O's.   
    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).

    Thought I had a Hawaii yesterday, but 'calculator says no'. 4.98 O's ..... that's just cruel.
    We'll give you that one Martyn.  ;)

    Please Sir, may I have more?

    Flippin, flippy flip hats, exactly the same again 4.98 O's yesterday. Just 0.1kWh short of an exact Hawaii ...... again. Oh TGM, you are teasing me.

    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.

    Yesterday we were all getting big Os and Gridwatch's solar peak exceeded 8GW for the first time I can recall seeing.
    Not exactly "my generation", more like everybody's.

    5.52 O's today, not quite as good as yesterday (there was thin high cloud all day) but still very respectable for mid-April :)
    And we've bought 4kWh from the grid since this time yesterday.
