As a comparison, from up in the Welsh Valleys:
Best year so far, only 2.4kWh off PVGIS yearly estimate.
Nearly the best December @ 112.6% of PVGIS estimate.
Used 84.8 % of generation in December.
71.69% of imported energy at the 5p/kWh rate on Octopus Go Tariff, giving us an average cost of just 7.554p/kWh for all imported electricity in December.
Gas use down by over 30% compared to last December (mainly helped by the milder weather & using the heat pump more).0 -

Actually managed 0.86 Os yesterday, which is a half-decent result but only 79% of Jan PVGIS. I've only beaten January PVGIS twice in seven years, which is not surprising considering my telegraph pole shading issues in the winter.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
