    2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. Aurora Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.
    Reg. for FIT Nov 2011. Northants. "It's not what you generate; it's how you use it that matters" .

    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).

    If the chap who invented the O doesn't understand it, what hope has anyone else got ? :D


    According to 'normal' maths, 72kWh vivided by 2.5 kWp would be 28.8 !

    The O may not have been invented here. It is graphed at pvout.org

    http://www.pvoutput.org/list.jsp?id=41615&sid=38020

    There they call it "efficiency kWh/kW).

    The term O I think is attributable to this board.

    Only 2.94 O's. I can only get spot readings from the Smart Meter without a Smart Hub. But over three days IMPORT of 20.0 kWh and EXPORT of 14.3 kWh are not too far off Wattson. We have exported a little too much over the last three days.
