    I think it's time for me to declare. 4,340 Wh / 3,780 Wp = 4.34 Os.

    So that's my best day ever. Wattson now installed and working with Holmes (software). Will have to wait for energyhive to be fixed. I now learn to my disappointment that I am exporting power.
    I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".

    Once again, the forecasters got it wrong..yay :j

    Sun showed midday, helping me get 3.2 O's.

    Must say, I'm a bit jealous of you guys getting Hawaii's already. Will have to wait a bit longer. Tuesday's forecast looks promising (though will prob piddle it down) so we'll see.

    Need another 10.4kWh by e.o.d Tues.
    4kw (16X250w Sharp). Samil Solar River 3680 TL inverter.
    E.mids/SSE. 35 degree roof pitch, no shading.

    It is doable, given the right conditions, lamps, all day sunshine etc. etc. etc......coffee.gif

    Think he did mean 16.4 kWh....:D..smiley-laughing021.gif

    Take a look at the Sterlings live site from one of his posts, can't post it, as it may break Data Protection........:A
    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).
