Newcomer to this O business. Yesterday my 6.5kW system produced 43.2kW. Does this give an O value of 6.6? What's the highest O value that's feasible?

No it was 6.646 O's ,as for maximum O's depends on your system what's feasible, a shallower south facing pitch is always going to do better(in summer) than a steep E/W split. On saying that my ESE managed a 7.6 O one sunny day last year

Panels are all south facing on bungalow with something like 35 degree pitch. Live 20 miles north of Belfast if that's relevant.

From what I've read and seen from various forums on a 4kw system your max daily output will be somewhere around 32kwh or 8 Os. My best to date (only installed 2 weeks back) is just under 27kwh on a good setup but far from perfect.

I understood that was included in the warranty...?

I've always heard it isn't on SolarEdge (but is, I think on Enecsys micro inverters but only a £100(?)).

Have tried to check, and may have the answer, or may have confused myself. Have a look at this and see what you think:

http://www.solaredge.com/files/pdfs/solaredge-warranty-june-2013.pdf

Where SolarEdge decides to repair the Product or part(s), warranty coverage includes labor and material costs necessarily incurred to correct the Product defect; and where SolarEdge decides to replace the Product or part(s) to which the Limited Warranty applies, warranty coverage includes the cost of the replacement of the Product or part(s). In addition, SolarEdge shall bear shipping costs in respect to the foregoing, as set out above. All other costs, including, without limitation, travel and boarding costs of SolarEdge service personnel that are incurred for repairs of Products on-site, as well as costs related to buyer’s employees and contractors repair or replacement activities, are not covered by the Limited Warranty and, unless otherwise agreed in writing in advance by SolarEdge, shall be borne by the buyer.

I hope I'm wrong, and access costs are covered as that would be a bit of peace of mind for me, and would, I think, be a gamechanger for this technology, as It's already relatively cheap, maximises each panel, has great monitoring, and allows a mix of almost anything - panel types, orientations, pitches etc etc.
