    Legoman...0.57 o's must still be around 2kw for you...is that right?..if that's zero generation, what would you be expecting if rain free at this time of year?

    Yes..misread where the zilch came into it. Obsessed with Zilch's I'm afraid!

    However...its been sunny here today and I've generated 2.4 kW!!!!! May not sound lots to your lovely systems, but for me, its pure gold!

    Reg. for FIT Nov 2011. "It's not what you generate; it's how you use it that matters". One very clean Vauxhall Diesel Sri, £30.00 Road Tax: B)

    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).
