    1.33 O's so no wooden spoon for me today.:j

    Nice try....smiley-laughing021.gif
    I spend a whole day in an insurance training course in rooms with no windows. Had no opportunity to see the sum, so it was unexpected and pleasing that I made 1.8 Os. My best day since installation.

    Am I today's winner?

    No.

    But I would be worried if my insurance advisor could not see the sum.....:eek:

    1.88 O's for me...coffee.gif
    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).

    If my panels were all facing the same way then yes I'd agree, but as they're facing totally opposite directions there's no way anyone could get a fair comparison.....besides....if I did an overall total it'd be a 2 horse race EVERYDAY between myself and Mart for the wooden spoon!!smiley-rolleyes005.gif

    I'm not scared of you T. I got a mighty 1.2 yesterday, sadly they weren't O's. So do I get the spoon (again) with 0.215 Os?

    If you've got lemons, make lemonade - so I think I might diversify into the cutlery supply business! :o

    Mart.
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.
