    Thanks for taking the time to explain that for me guys, :) I now see the reasoning for Quoting "O" and not Kwh to better compare folks generators be they 2, 3, 4 or 20Kw systems.



    Anyway, 2.3 O's for me yesterday.

    I'd just sourced an appropriate picture to indicate 2.3 ho's but my super power, common sense, started tingling and I decided that would be better left for another board!!!

    I'm tired and I've got 7 hours of classroom today (last one yay!), that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

    Anyway, on topic I scored a measly 6.608kWh or 1.65 ho's.

    Or, how about oho's? Won't be too many around Chrimbo time, but early summer we'll all be "think laughing policeman" ing?!!!
    4kWp, SSE, SolarEdge P300 optimisers & SE3500 Inverter, in occasionally sunny Corby, Northants.
    Now with added Sunsynk 5kw hybrid ecco inverter & 15kWh Fogstar batteries. Oh Octopus Energy too.

    Getting very varied days currently (ranges from 2-18Kw/h, 0.5 to 4.5 O's) but still seem to consistently get enough to provide hot water through iboost which is great.

    Well I've just rechecked my PVGIS figures as suggested and my yearly total hasn't changed, some months have gone down a bit and some up a bit, more accurately reflecting what I actually get.

    So, my September 2014 total was 179.85 kWh, just under 3% over PVGIS. For comparison:

    Sep 2013: 157.45 kWh
    Sep 2012: 203.90 kWh
    Sep 2011: 181.27 kWh

    (All references to PVGIS are SAF/climate, I've now completely deleted "Classic" from my spreadsheet, I can't see the point of maintaining two.)

    The first two days of October have not been good, well under PVGIS on a daily basis, but today is looking a lot better. After that it looks like it's all downhill. :(
