    Is 350 watts of generation feasible on a wet dull day?

    Generally speaking, for part of the day and a 4kWp system? Yes.
    My system is only 2.72kWp but my daily output in June (as posted in this thread) varied from 1.24kWh on the 18th to 16.11kWh on the 12th.

    Edit to add: it's grey overcast and raining here right now, 1400 BST, and my system is generating about 400 watts.
