OK, getting 60% of target for February looks reasonable with the publication of the February anomaly maps from the Met Office.
Bit wet for the south, too!

Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh 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.

3.2 O yesterday, which was enough to fully charge the PW2 and mean I only drew from the grid for half an hour this morning before the sun was up high enough to start supplying the house again.
