    Also, just to say it's a joke nickname because Oscargrouch suggested we post the kWh/kWp results, for a better comparison. This was probably a decade ago, and so Oscars / O's were born as they're quicker and fun than typing 'kWh/kWp' each time. But in the real world nobody will have a clue what an O is.
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.
