    11.3kWhr, 2.6 O's. The rain started about 2pm and then I managed around 0.4kW generation until 6:45. Hopefully managed to export some of that. 
    I think the aim is to use rather than export: when you export you only get 0.3p per kWh then when you import it back from your supplier it costs you around 0.28p per kWh  
    I wish my supplier charged 0.28p per kWh. At those rates I assume you have a hot tub in your garbage can?   ;-)
    Currently, Octopus are charging me 27.63p: my average usage was 2046 kWh per year; pre-Solar Panels: no Hot Tub  Today was a measly 1.92 O's   
    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).
