Logged in and lego beat me the explanation of an O so 0.9 O's today for me(SSW only)
Only 12kWh needed on this system for PVGIS in 7 days and according to the BBC some decent weather on its way http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/s43?day=4 ....we shall see

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

Better day here.0.925 O's today:D or 3.7kWh

Must be because the days are getting longer....or are they:think::question:

:xmassign: everyone

So I've done 1.48 "O's" today?

5.81kWh generated on a 3.92kWp system.

1.72 O's; better.......

Well I might play the "O's" game then going forward. Seems simple enough. Hopefully the lousy numbers of late won't be repeated going forward...

I had a similar problem at first (-: It seemed such a rationale approach to comparison that I was Googling for the answer. Apparently, it was invented here. It makes sense provided that denominator is the DC output of the system rather than the rated AC output of the panels.

On that basis, at the Centre of England (very close to Meriden) my Os for today are 1.24. I even got 1.34 kWh contribution to my water heating saving me nearly six pence in gas.
