    I was happy with 5.84 O's for yesterday until I looked on here and saw other peoples results! Lots of passing clouds during the day gave very spiky output.

    I certainly wouldn't sniff at a high 5 O. May looks like it might just about recover my PVGIS target but likely I'll miss it due to that poor week we had.

    @Merlin139 9 years that's awesome! I got my panels only yesterday. Can you explain what a maiden is please?


    2 O's = Bond, As in 007
    3 O's = TyphOOO
    4 O's = Winks, 40 winks
    5 O's = Hawaii, Hawaii 5 O
    6 O's = Maiden, 6 balls in an over
    7 O's = Heaven, in 7th Heaven
    8 O's = Potato's 8 O's sounds like Potatoes!

    This is what we came up with a few years back.
    Thanks for posting.

    Might be wrong, but I'm not sure if anyone has ever got a potato (anyone?) I think some have come really close, but needs perfect conditions.

    Best day of the year for us yesterday (I even got sunburned sitting in the garden), scored 5.89 O's, that's very near our best ever, I think we once squeezed out about 6.3, but not many maidens (ever) visit our E/W system.
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

    Don't think I'll ever reach a potato, gonna be tough to get to heaven.

    I need to average 17kw per day for the next 19 days to hit 4mw in 12 months.
