reckon we will end up 15 kWh less than last April overall - but it was a stellar month (and year) with 134x O’s in April 2025

I'm in a similar position to SuzeQStan; last April was my record at 133 Os for the month, and I'm currently on 124 Os for April 2026.
My PVGIS estimate is 105 Os for a typical April, while the weather forecast suggests that we might make a Maiden today. I'll be very happy with 130 Os!

6.47 Os, to finish the month. The perfect forecast didn't quite live up to the advertising. Late afternoon cloud the culprit, again.
