  • Quick question...

    When working out my O's should I use 4 (kwp) or 3.68? Also which do I use for pvgis?

    I've been using 4 but I think I may be doing myself a disservice as the inverter is a 3600....

    4 (your system size) is correct, not your inverter size:cool:

    .....if it is can I change mine to 3.8:rotfl:

    PVGIS is also 4:D

    I'll stick with 4 then... :D

    I'm not complaining too much, Bedford seems to be a lot sunnier than I imagined it would be. Still not sunny enough though in my opinion! :D

    0.40 O's for yetsterday, and today looks like it's going to be a stunner!:T
