Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

It's exactly 10 years since our 3kWp (14 x 215W) solar panels were commissioned in Nov 2011 so we've had quite a lot of data to give an annual average.
Current generation meter reading is 32580 kWh so we've produced 3258 kWh per year on average which I'm pretty pleased with and is way above the estimates when we had the panels installed. The full set of data is here if anyone wants to see how the years compare.

Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).5 -
