    Can anyone tell me when payments increase? Is it always on 01/04/YYYY? I want to make sure I get a reading close to that date.

    Thanks,

    James

    Yes James, they do increase from April Fools day. What I do is submit two readings. One for the 31st. of March and another for the date your 1/4 reading is due...:)

    Only 1.96 O's today; this has now become the best this year. Gooood times are a coming......coffee.gif

    Hi there everyone,

    We had our system fitted last summer and we're very happy with it. However I want to be able to track my output live on PV Output instead of manually typing in the information every day.

    Can some kind soul tell me what I need, and what I need to do in order for the updates to happen automatically please?

    Or at least point me in the direction of the information I need?

    Many thanks, and hopefully a very sunny New Year to you all!:rotfl:

    Day 2 of 2015 a lot better at 1.78 O's (6.99kWh)

    Tomorrow is not looking good though!


    May be a silly question from some one who has not got panels yet but curious to what is ment by 1.78 0's to come to a total of 6.99KW

    Tis getting better here, my 2kWp SSW is already hitting 300Wh generation, coupled with the other 2 systems I'm at least covering my baseload...more than can be said of yours from looking at your energyhivesmiley-angry019.gif

    O's, aka Oscars (after our very own Oscargrouch), ho's (because I like mine fast and loose!), or Efficiency (as referred to by PVOutput), is a simple calculation that allows pv arrays of different sizes, locations and orientations to be compared simply.

    Oscar's signature has the math:
    'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels)

    So Andy_WSM generated on Friday 2/1/15 6.99kWh. His pv system is 3.92kWp so 6.99 ÷ 3.92 = 1.78
    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.
