    Year 1 production = 4058 kWh

    Year 2 production = 4033 kWh

    That's nice and consistent, let's hope it stays that close.

    Pedantry alert, I assume you meant kWh. But again, not a bad spread allowing for shading etc.

    Now pretty confident of PVGIS for this month (120 O's). Only need to average 2.5 O's a day now (I have over 3 already today). Thought is was a tall order as it is my biggest month but a good start has made it relatively easy - unless things get far grimmer than forecast over the next few day.

Installed 29/9/2015 - £4700 (Norfolk Solar Together Scheme); 9.6kWh US2000C Pylontech batteries + Solis Inverter installed 12/4/2022 Year target (PVGIS-CMSAF) = 3880kWh - Installer estimate 3452 kWh:Average over 6 years = 4400 :j
