Lots of clouds, sun seemed to be missing most of the day, certainly whenever I was outside. Well happy with total production.

Near perfect curve yesterday at 6.61 O's. Best day of the year so far, hoping for a few more over the next couple of days.

Hit 4.7 O's yesterday, best of the year. Might reach Hawaii today, with a following (cold) wind.
Now projecting 97% for Apr, but the good weather forecast should lift us over 100% by the weekend. And looks like a positive month, again from forecast, so that'll be the kiss of death then.
Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.
For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.8 -
6.86 O's today - this is my best day to date, clocking in at a total 49.4kWh of generation.
I'm wondering if 50kWh is possible. There was a slight blip before lunch in the near perfect bell curve, but it was pretty cool conditions today with plenty of wind.

is a ‘horned’ bell curve normal? We’ve been having a lot of these and I don’t understand why - any thoughts?

Possibly the panels getting too hot in the middle part of the day. Clearly the inverter isn't the limiting factor, otherwise it would be a straight clipped curve.
