    My panels are further round to the east than yours and have shading, your Feb target looks a bit low?
    Mine's 154kWh.
    Maybe mine is too high?!

    But target hit by 9 am today, still pulling 107w as of 16.00 today and hit the year high of 14.867kWh.

    Carry on like this and might get a forty winks before St Davids Day!

    I got shading from branches (leafless) of 4 oak trees during winter. If there were leaves I would have got almost nothing, thankfully its only from mid october to end of february when generation is less anyways. On cloudy days my output is same as others but on sunny days I get around 8-12 KWh compared to 15-20Kwh for most. Total yearly estimate of around 3475 KWh, without winter shading I would probably have got 3700kWh but its ok I can live with that.

    Hit a peak of 3.72kw output everyday this week so far.
    Is that about right for a 4kwp system with a 3.6kw inverter?.
