    I'm away from home and don't have access to my generation meter, but based on the inverter app (which reads a bit high) we made just under 2400kWh this year. That's my worst full year on record (last year was 2200kWh but my inverter was dead for a whole summer month where I'd have expected to generate 300+ kWh).

    Generation

    What a start to 2025 - 0.1 O's. However, bright sunshine this morning, so may well exceed yesterday's output in about 30 minutes.
