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

    Cooler today but overcast, and rain eventually.
    6.75kWh, 2.48 O's.

    Observed that a "bright overcast" gives very roughly half of the output I'd expect from clear skies (around 1.4kW indicated during the 1230-1430 peak).
    Unrelated to solar, my motorbike passed its MoT so tomorrow's commute should be at ~120 mpg rather than the mighty Panda's ~45mpg - as long as the rain stops!

    And too bad for motorcycling, also!
