Not a perfect curve more like a sharks fin that had a few chucks hacked out of it.
Too hot by a long way so peak gen was only 3.34 kW
25.61 kWh or Maiden + 0.44 O's
2nd best day of the year.
Up to 85.8% when we should be at 73.3% so June has improved.

A near perfect curve for yesterday returned 6.5 O's, our best day of the year and with it being one day after the summer solstice is likely to be declared this years top dog. It would seem Graig Fatha was well aware and took it easy, contributing a mere 0.1!East coast, lat 51.97. 8.26kw SSE, 23° pitch + 0.59kw WSW vertical. Nissan Leaf plus Zappi charger and 2 x ASHP's.

So rather than trawling through 3057 pages of this thread, may I ask what an "O" or even a "Hawaii" are in this context?
I'm guessing "O" is kWh generated/kWp of the system?Solar install June 2022, Bath

OSCAR.GROUCH STATES THAT AN 0 IS.
Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).

I'm going to have to monitor the system as I'm not totally convinced that they are the Hyundai 400W panels I was quoted for, so maybe it will be useful to compare generation with anyone who is reasonably close by.Solar install June 2022, Bath

ed110220 said:Thanks for relenting! But I still don't know what a Hawaii is.The definition of "O" is given in Oscargrouch's signature, at the bottom of every post he makes; It's one kWh of electricity generated per kWp of solar PV system.Multiples of Os are named (forum stalwarts please correct me if I've got this wrong):
- Not named? (I'd go with Odin, since he only has one eye.)
- Bond (double-O)
- Typhooo
- Wink (forty winks)
- Hawaii (for the TV show Hawaii Five-O)
- Maiden (as in cricket, an over [six balls] with no runs scored)
- Heaven (seventh heaven)
- Never (as Oscar's system is never going to make eight Os)
