    2.89 kwh and 0.96333 O's today... had snow on the panels. I assume it has cleared by now, but not sure, havn't been out back to check. I have to walk in lots of snow to check back of house, can't be bothered.

    Hmm 0.75 O's for the day - an apple a day might keep the doctor away, and a Mars a day help you work rest and play, but an O a day is not the amount I want for my panels to pay!

    (want not need as it still covers the interest cost!).

    Had to laugh - we have an annual Green Living fair in town - which fell today. Lets just say the solar panel companies weren't exactly beating people off with sticks given the lack of sun recently. This time last year....

    0.32 O's for me; who started this stupid system of low numbers:rotfl:
    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).

    I wonder if the fake palm trees on the Southend sea front will survive these conditions. The northern limit for palms is Cannes, ready for the film festival.
