Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

My system is quite new but I am very happy this month currently at 120% PVGIS.
However, I have a question, What peak power outputs should I expect at this time of year.
My 4.6kW system is only peaking at 3kW during the mid day sun, is this normal ?
Angles of your panels and the sun.

First time I've worked out my O's 3.93 does that sound about right?No.79 save £12k in 2020. Total end May £11610

Definitely in the right ball park. If you post your generation figure and the peak rated output of your panels (not the inverter) we can check it.First time I've worked out my O's 3.93 does that sound about right?
A healthy 4.43 Os for me today, I need 3.16 Os tomorrow to beat my all-time February high set last year. Looking pretty unlikely from the forecast.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 -
3.73 O's today (3.57kWp system). With today's 13.3kWh that's taken us to over 200kWh for February, and over 300kWh since install in December!0

4.6 Os.
Feb so far has been fantastic, way above any previous Feb with 220kWh generated and 1 more day to go. Previous highest was 190kWh back in 2014
