Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

2.6 O's here, under par for April maybe, but what I wouldn't give for it in the middle of December!

O's are your daily total in kWh divided by your panels kWp, so for me yesterday 26.6kWh/5.25kWp = 5.07 O's. It equals out everyone's totals a bit so those with most panels don't always "win".

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!

Took me a while to find this. For anyone else that wasn't sure what a Maiden was. 🤣

Have we ever had potatoes? I can't remember one.

Me neither. Guess it isn’t easy. Would need to be max rate from 1000-1800ish, but guess longer days may be warmer, so performance dips?

(1030 when my solar really kicks in, but by 5pm is it’s starting to wain again)

3.675 O’s here today👏

Better day today 3.6 O's

4.75 Os here today. Virtually no rain too 😁

Coastalwatch

A straight 3 O's today.

Another decent 5.0 O's for yesterday. Hoping for the same today based on the forecast. Sadly, the next few days don't look as good.

I don't think so. May be wrong, and I know some have gotten into high 7's, but can't recall a potato. [Something is nagging away at my memory, but I think it may have involved the poster accidentally using an undersized inverter figure, rather than dividing by the full kWp.]

My sister got a 10.3kWp system 2.5yrs ago, and shortly after install we were chatting about daily records, and she mentioned that they'd gotten 130kWh, (that's 12.62 O's). From the look on my face, she called up the monitoring and we had a look. Fantastic weather, with a series of ~70kWh days (~6.80 O's) with a random 130kWh sitting in the middle, despite the day's generation curve matching the days around it, with a peak of about 8.5kW mid day. I think the system was having a mild nervous breakdown and doubled the figure for some strange reason.

Huge jump for us yesterday, with our first Wink smashed - 4.57 O's.

Would that be a GivEnergy system by any chance?

I've seen weird stats every now and again. The best is negative generation, plus also weird spikes of generation (almost MWh level!).

That was on a day the inverter was replaced due to a fault. I think it couldn't cope with the historic data from the portal relating to the old inverter and the new data from the new inverter itself.
