Can I ask what time generation stops for you at this time of year? I was really hoping to get panels installed but I've come home about half an hour ago and my roof is completely shaded by next door (3 storey townhouse) Does that put a dent in my aspirations?0

Mine has dropped by 1800 ish on most days. I do have shading across part of a panel at this time though so could be caused by that.
You would need to see when shading of your roof starts, not go by when its completely covered as shading on one panel can drag the whole system down. Have a read of the shading thread. Systems exist that can help this but when the shading starts is the issue.
I did mange 6.27 Os today though.2.43 from 9 x 270 Trina panels. Samil solar river 2600 inverter. Due South. 30 pitch. East coast of Scotland just North of Forth bridge.0 -

Would depend which direction your roof faces!
My system is SE facing and has an hour or so of shade in the morning from the neighbouring house. By 3pm the Sun is passing over my panels and onto the wrong side of the roof so generation declines.0 -
A Maiden + 0.42 O's for me!
6.42 O's (25.17 kWh) my best day of the year so far, following yesterdays best day of the year so far.0 -
What I get after 1800 isn't worth a lot either, but I am slightly east of south, which skews it a bit. I'm only generating 1W at the moment so just about to shut down and have made 6.36 Os today.
Edit: 12th best day ever and best since 8th June.2kWp Solar PV - 10*200W Kioto, SMA Sunny Boy 2000HF, SSE facing, some shading in winter, 37° pitch, installed Jun-2011, inverter replaced Sep-2017 AND Feb-2022.0 -

A Maiden +0.63 for me!
6.63 O's (26.36 kWh) Also my best day of the year so far, following yesterdays best day of the year so far!
I think Maiden is a very good choice for 63.795 kWp Solar PV System. Capital of the Wolds0 -
