Actually, thinking back I think we may have had an 8 once, but it failed the stewards enguiry. If I recall correctly, they were dividing by the inverter rating, not the panels.
Wish I could do that, my ESE/SSE system is now hitting ~37kWh each day, so dividing by the 3.68kW inverter rating I'd get a 10. Perhaps a 'top'. [Me and my faithful doggo Mutley are determined to find a way to win.
