You go on holiday for a week and what happens? The sun comes out at home! My GEO Solo PV allows me to see the daily breakdown and I think our best day beat the lot of you:
Tuesday 2nd April: 23.8kWh or 6.43kWh/kWp (or O's if you prefer)
There were only 2 days where we didn't get into double figures and 3 days where we broke the magic 20kWh threshold: Sunday 23.0kWh (6.22 O's) and yesterday 22.1kWh (5.97 O's)
PVGIS Classic estimate for March was 256kWh, we achieved 237.7kWh, or 93%. Considering what a shocking month it was I can't really grumble at that, especially since last March exceeded PVGIS by 42.6%. The Met Office reckoned Cider Country got 70-90% of the expected sunshine for March.
April has had a great start with an average 16.6kWh/day (vs 12.2kWh PVGIS Classic estimate).Cider Country Solar PV generator: 3.7kWp Enfinity system on unshaded SE (-36deg azimuth) & 45deg roof0 -
Another good day today, not quite an Hawaii but 4 O's(16kwh).
I checked my import meter today to see how we're doing. We've bought 46 kWh since Saturday morning which equates to about 8 a day. Not bad at all for late march/early april, especially as the wife and 2 young kids are in all day.
Works out about £6.50(worked on 14p a kWh average) spent but just under £37 generated. Wish it was always like that;)

Hi All
Following on from a disappointing start to the year this month seems to have started well .... so far this week (as of last night) we have already passed the total production achieved in either December or January .... not bad by Thursday ...

Well that was a one-off.That's more like it, 11.14 kWh yesterday, best since 8th September. (5.57 O's)
Wednesday 2.04
Thursday 1.46 (lots of snow!)
Today 2.09 (still some snow!!)
And I'm talking kWh here, not O's
