Is half an O a C?

That's what I got, although the PV was switched off from 07:30 to 15:00, to allow for gorging on negatively priced electrons.

I'd be giving up my 74.37p/kWh FiT payments if I did that, so the negative rates would have to be phenomenal for me to do it. Anyway, a pretty nice 5.49 Os today.
