That has certainly been my experience (and I guess most others here too), with solar generation having been exceptional since the last week in February.Our green credentials: 12kW Samsung ASHP for heating, 7.2kWp Solar (South facing), Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5kWh), Net exporter3 -
My panels were installed in the first week of November 24. Having not produced much over the 4 worst months of the year I passed the 2mWh milestone a week or so ago. With 5, hopefully, good months ahead, before the anniversary, I'm reasonably optimistic of getting 1MWh/kWp, or 4.25MWh. PVGIS suggests about 3.5MWh/annum, so I'm well pleased.3

I'd have expected 1MWh/kWh in Devon, where I previously lived, for a southish facing array, but Mid Wales isn't known for its palm fringed beaches, so it's been a pleasant surprise.3
