    A tad over 6 O's today, plenty of washing, drying(on the line:D) and dishwasher x 2. We did have a spell of cloudiness around dinner so could get better still.

    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).

    Rather disappointing in South East today. Forecast was good but cloud came over around 1pm and only went about 6pm but got a nice jump when it did finally come out.

    Total 12kWh, only 4 Os today when I was hoping for over 7 based on the sun that was predicted.

    On the plus side our inverter is now reading over 4MWh as well as the gen meter which passed that milestone last week.
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    17.6 kWh today.

    Surprisingly good considering the amount of cloud :o

    Did manage some sunbathing later in the afternoon. :)
