It is interesting how your panels have outperformed mine relative to PVGIS. I don’t know exactly where you live but you are not a million miles away. I suspect that Solar Edge is partly responsible. I note though that you have 10% shading.
I do have a bit of shade this time of year, some from trees in my own garden from about 2.30pm onwards and also from a huge Lleylandii in a neighbours garden for 45 minutes between 8.05 and 8.50am. I don’t know whether I should adjust the PVGIS estimate to reflect this. In September some other trees in the west interfere in the evening but to a lesser degree. As the extent of shading varies depending on time of year I would find it difficult to calculate it as a percentage.
Do you adjust your PVGIS estimate take this into account?Northern Lincolnshire. 7.8 kWp system, (4.2 kw west facing panels , 3.6 kw east facing), Solis inverters, Solar IBoost water heater, Mitsubishi SRK35ZS-S and SRK20ZS-S Wall Mounted Inverter Heat Pumps, ex Nissan Leaf owner)0 -
1.41 today, not seen anywhere near that for the last 14 days.
That disappointing second half left me with 70% of PVGIS for the month.17 x 300W panels (5.1kW) on a 3.68kW SolarEdge system in Sunny Sheffield.

Ended the month with a half-decent 1.9 Os for a November total of 33.96 Os or 82.7% of PVGIS. That's actually not bad for November, a bit down on 2012, 2016 and 2017 but better than the others.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

I presume you mean 112.9% of full year estimate otherwise that wouldn't make sense! I'm currently on 105% of my full year estimate.
