    O's are the day's generation in kWh/your panel's kWp . It was invented by a forum member long ago to make he playing field a little more level, so the one with the most panels didn't always "win".

    Today my panels generated 18.3kWh so 18.3/5.25 = 3.49 O's

    Mostly cloudy with a few sunny spells, cleared up around 5pm and was a lovely evening.
