    I generated 16kWh yesterday on the dot....

    4 O's ...  seems exceptionally high compared to most reported values on here?

    Looking back at previous years it seems it's not that high though.  I generated 21.7kWh on the 27th Feb. last year, although there's probably a huge difference between early and late Feb.
