Same here, best WNW result of the year, but barely scraped an O from the ESE. Still enough gen to cover the air con (ASHP), so heating switched off early, and hot air blowing all day from the conservatory through the living room. Lovely.Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

I will see your 3.7 and raise you 5.4O's
Yes you read that right 5.4 O's or just shy of 23kw.
Goes like a train this roof in cold bright weather.
I'm assuming that you topped everyone yesterday due to your panel angle of 45 degrees?
We're all around 35 degrees, some of mine (the flat roof ones) even down at 20 degrees...... but those steep panels of yours allow you to grab more of the low angle sun.
I think this is what @Martyn1981 is after for his future winters..... some more steep angled panels to help with low sun angles. :beer:17 x 300W panels (5.1kW) on a 3.68kW SolarEdge system in Sunny Sheffield.

Slight improvement on yesterday with 3.72 Os. The system really struggles to get much above 1.2kW at this time of year, which means no chance of getting near Crowmann's output.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
