    Yesterday was a bit better, 9.51kWh or 3.49 O's.
    I don't have an exact figure for April generation (I missed a few readings at the end of March / beginning of April) but since the 8th of April I've generated 264.43kWh (97 O's) vs. 286kWh from PVGIS for the full month. The best day of the period was the 25th of April, 6.47 O's.
    Import for the same period has been 110kWh.
    Gas since 21/03/21 has been 115 cu.m or ~1293kWh :open_mouth:

    What would probably have been one of my best ever Aprils has ended up 33% below PVGIS because of scaffolding up for the last 10 days. The earliest it's coming down is Tuesday, May is usually my best month so it had better hurry up!
