Can any solar veterans check I’m doing this right? Just comparing my generation figures for May (618.3kWh) against the PVGIS estimate (519.17kWh) which looks like my system exceeded the estimate by around 19% which seems a lot, especially since my first full day of generation wasn’t until 5th May. Have I done it right or is it just because it’s been the Costa del Lancaster over here? ☀️

Further east we were let down the last couple of days of May by the cloud coming in off the North Sea. I still managed 107% of PVGIS.
Here's hoping for a flaming JuneBarnsley, South Yorkshire

I'm now thoroughly confused: at 5pm I'd apparently generated 27.9kWh. 10 minutes later (it might have been sooner but I wasn't looking) that was up to 28kWh. Then nothing seemed to be changing yet now I have a new record of 29kWh. I don't expect that to change now even though the panels are still generating 40W (no, that's gone down to 20W in the time I've been writing this).
