You've just had your first two winter quarters (September to December, January to March) and you're about to have two summer quarters.I find the summer quarters give a bit more than double the generation that the winter ones do.Edit: Got the figures here. PVGIS suggests, in round numbers, 770kWh (280 O's) vs. 1720kWh (630 O's) for winter 6 vs summer 6.N. Hampshire, he/him. Octopus Intelligent Go elec & Tracker gas / Vodafone BB / iD mobile.
