    Just to check (newbie) that the correct way to do this is to divide the day's production by the kwh capacity of the system. Not the inverter. In which case yesterday I had 34.4kwh / 6.4kw system = 5.375 Os.

    Have I done this right?
    London. 6.4kwh system, South facing. 16 Hyundai 400kw all black panels w/ optimisers, 6kw Solaredge HD Wave inverter, Solar Iboost with two immersion heaters on one 240l hw tank. Octopus Flux. Ivar 5 Wood Burning Stove. Leaf 62kwh plus Zappi. Two chickens: 1 Light Sussex, 1 Speckled Rock. Omlet walk-in run. Approx 1.5 eggs per day egg generation rate using Marriage's organic layers pellets.

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

    Not a completely clear day and variable output so finished on 3.7 O's

    Agile outgoing was super rubbish today, as low as 1.1p in one half hour period!
