    Generation finished for the day and that was my worst ever February by a large margin, nearly 40% under PVGIS. Extra day didn't help at all! :/

    Yes, they've been a bit scarce recently but it's back to normal tonight, nothing below 10p.

    Just submitted my solar reading for the FIT and added it to my spreadsheet where I log it.

    359 kwh for December 2023 to February 2024. This was my lowest generation quarter since I had my panels installed in 2014. The nearest being 395kwh for the same quarter in 20/21.

    Anyone else seen similar? Was the weather just awful the past 3 months?
