    PVGIS?
    O I think comes from a forum member Oscar Grouch?

    A way of measuring PV that means all users are comparing like for like rather than different results for different systems. 

    Divide the generation PV by the system capacity. 

    So 15kWh of solar generated, 5kWp system, 3 Os.

    PVGIS is photovoltaic geographical information system. 

    A website that allows you to work out likely PV generation based on your location, pitch of roof, size of system based on model data from the last ten years (if I recall correctly).
