    A Hawaii yesterday and another today (just - 5.01 Os) and I would like to award myself a silver spoon BUT I cannot get the image into a mail message!
    I have a snap of a very nice spoon - in fact an Atkins Brothers ladle in Old English pattern with a rattail, made about 1896, 12.5 inches long, with its plate in nearly pristine condition and just one small straight dent in the bowl (and it only cost 9 Os!) - quite beautiful, and I'd like everyone to win it just as soon as it stops snowing north of Watford (or whatever is stopping the sunshine up there stops stopping it).
    Can anyone help me to get a picture of a winner's spoon up here to match the loser's special, please?

    6,730 Wh / 3,780 Wp = 1.78 Os. Morning was vaguely encouraging but past midday it was quite bleak.
    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".

    I thought my day was bad at 1.44 but clearly not...


    Even so, got the hot water hot and put a kWh or so into the radiator. certainly won't have exported much.

    Was that in O's or kWh..?...:D

    Good start today; crap after 12:00 end of day 2.6 O's......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).

    My 1.44 was O's.


    1.44 kWh would be really but not my worst day which was 113Wh for the whole day

    and thanks too to Oscargrouch for offers of help. March has been fantastic for me so far - only one duff day out of eleven so far - but I wish silver spoons to you all!
