4.4 today, surprising as there was quite a lot of interrupted sun, saw 3.6kw multiple times during the day though so that must have made up for it!

A lovely hailstorm to clean the panels today - hadn't been able to get over 4kW for the last couple of weeks, but getting up to 5kW after their free clean. Presumably it was a layer of Saharan sand that needed washing off.448kW, 95.88 Os for their first month.

Not a bad March in the end but not as good as some here, 19.5% above PVGIS. The only excitement was trying to submit my quarterly reading to Bulb and having to wait in a 2-hour queue because of all the people reporting their meter readings as the media had been telling them to do all day. Just made it with 9 minutes to spare, if it had gone beyond midnight my payment would have been delayed by 3 months as that's how Bulb works.

1st day of April generation is 19 kWh, best so far since install, 1st of March was only 9kWh so impressed since the install was done in middle of last September, also 1MWh has been passed.5
