    9C and raining here in the SW. More likely to get heat stroke than snow ;)

    Oh! I need this clarifying now as I'm confused.

    I've used the rating of the panels in my "O" calculations (3920w), not the rated output of the inverter (3600w).

    Which should I be using Oscargrouch?

    Panels, Panels, Panels & Panels...:T:T:T:T
    2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.
    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).

    You're not missing much. 5C here today and lots of cloud, so while I'm generating a few watts, I'm not generating very many at all.

    I'm certainly using watts keeping warm though :(
