This is my post from 24/03/24. 

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!

This is what we came up with a few years back.

Oscargrouch came up with names upto Hawaii. I added Maiden, Heaven, Potato.

Live in Yorkshire. Only been here 23 years so occasionally speak with a bit of an accent.

Thanks Merlin.

Thanks for sharing the list.

Has anyone ever recorded a Potato (8 O's)?

I have a near ideal south facing array, and managed 7.4 O's this week. I have a 3.645kWp array on a 3kW inverter, so I'm guessing if that were on an efficient 3.68kW inverter, we may have been into potato territory?

Not sure, but it becomes easier the further south you go. If I picked up my house and plonked it as far south as I can. 220 miles as the crow flies. Brighton area, my PVGIS would increase by around 20%.

Not sure that would make a Tato from my best Heaven, but you never know.

Being in Mid Wales, not famed for its sunshine, I have been surprised to get into Heaven territory quite a number of times. The array was only installed last November, so they haven't seen a mid-summer, yet. I can imagine scraping a potato in flaming June, because my roof pitch is only 25 degrees, so I'm sure I've not been getting maximum output with the poor angle of incidence. Fingers crossed.

A Maiden.4 today, as rain has stopped play early.

Another chart looking like a cross section of the Alps.

Hawaii + 0.38 O's

Cloudy with a chance of meatballs.

10.4kWh, 3.92 Os

... and my battery inverter is working again. Not sure if I can take any credit; I took some covers off, checked the connections and put it back together and it fired up!

5.06 Os today. No meatballs.

Repeat of yesterday. 5.75 O’s

A reasonable 5.33 O's.

Will hopefully hit May's PVGIS total tomorrow, especially if we get a bit of the forecast early morning rain and the panels are cleared of the nasty orange dust.

Cloudy morning, some brighter spells in the afternoon 3.98 O's. Really need some rain now to clean the panels.

Wot! In Barnsley, really!  

But know what you mean, 5.1 O's here.
