Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

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

Had some Sun today.

2.96 O's

Passed previous 3rd and 2nd best Octobers today. Also passed 4th best year total and tomorrow should beat 3rd best year total.

Thanks

I edited my post (asking if it was generation or export) while you were writing yours because I took another look at the thread title and realized I could probably assume the former (somehow I missed @Oscargrouch posting further up the same page I asked).

Your comment gave me the information and inspiration to figure out how to find the origin of the term.

I've been casually skimming this megathread for a while as I considered getting PV, and until today always assumed an 'O' represented one of those circular pie charts filling up or something, but it's not. Its an 'Oscar', having been coined, as you pointed out, by Oscargrouch, ll the way back on page 276:

The sound of the inverter clicking off above my head tells me we're done for today with 2.1 O's. Quite pleased with that given the cloudy forecast. Even more pleased to be starting the evening with just 1.4kWh of import for the day, including a 90° drum clean cycle on the washing machine.

A surprising 2.1 

I'm not really monitoring it as closely as I did in summer as the numbers are not as fun to watch

The generation widow narrows further, WFH today, but a pleasing 2.0 & 0.5 O's

1.62 O's Lovely day for late October, let's hope this mild weather continues.

Another brighter-than-expected day.

6.22kWh, 2.29 O's

With a good day yesterday to top the batts up awoke this morning with the IHD showing 26p so far for the day. 2.5 O's today so maybe a similar figure will await us on the IHD tomorrow morning.
