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

    Oh the fickle British weather (with or without forecasts!) 16.9kWh yesterday and hopes of spring, quickly dashed with 3.8kWh today. Now talking about snow later in the week - that'll make my trip to the self build place in Swindon (checking up on future projects) a pain in the tweed.

    Anyone for a kick about instead - http://www.treehugger.com/gadgets/brilliant-energy-generating-soccer-ball-finally-sale.html .
