Good morning. dubious afternoon, 2.8 O's. Three more O's will see us match pvgis for the month.

3.55 O's so looks like we've made it this month. A rare event this year.

Another Jammy Dodger springs to mind: only 0.92 O's here to end the month....

Somewhat unusually,  my September generation almost exactly matched the PVGIS figure.  
PVGIS : 316.5 kWh    Act Gen 317kWh

1.05 O's here today. Sept total 289.1kWh 
3rd worst September out of the last 9

Today was a washout for me, too.

1.52kWh, 0.56 O's   The only redeeming feature is that my battery worked and my export was zero!

Totals for September: 238kWh generated (102% of PVGIS), 75kWh imported, 146kWh exported. Plus 26m3 of gas.

0.7 today so another poor one...

So my first complete month is over - scores on the doors

Total PV 377kW
Exported 231kW
Solar used 39% (pleased with that but probably helped with a week abroad!)
Imported 252kw (Lowest amount ever probably and a good chunk on 4.5p GO Faster rate)

Looking at the PVGI site I work it out at about 96%,  not helped by 5 days of the month where I was under 1 'O'

No history to compare it with but quite happy

Thats a decent first month! Hopefully your Powerwall, once installed, will bump up that % used by quite a bit.

My generation suffers in absolute terms from being a 10-year-old system with lower-efficiency panels; the same piece of roof would generate ~30% more if I installed today. But I've had 10 years of 50p/kWh FIT so I shouldn't really complain

September is the last of the six good months. My PVGIS forecast for the three months to the end of the year is only 20% more than that for June alone.

Warm September, with a wet finish.

Decent month with only 107% of target. Small spread, with 105% for the ESE and 111% for the WNW.
Generated 413kWh (74.10O's).
Imported 306kWh.
Exported 200kWh.
Consumed 519kWh. 
Gas was ~99kWh.
Petrol/diesel zero - It's a BEV world baby.

Import picking up steadily as the PV covered less and less of BEV charging. Probably switch to nightime import charging now, leaving the PV for the heatpumps.

October started better than September ended

8.62kWh, 3.17 O's.
