Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

I tend to base mine on the 3.924kWp of the panels, not the inverter (3.5kW cap, but I beleive it might output a little more sometimes as the SolarEdge record says it's been as high as 3.71kW!). And for rough calcs I just use 4kWp.
21.465kWh = 5.47 Os yesterday

Another poster's system that springs to mind is Mysterons, though he doesn't post very often. I think he's just NW of London, so definitely not coastal. I recall his 2012 generation (from a 4kWp system) was 4,460kWh's, that's a mighty 1,115 Os (kwh/kWp). Presumably 2013 was even better?
My target of 761 Os (actual 791 in 2013) pales into insignificance, but I likes it anyway! Brawn over brains, or perhaps determination over commonsense.
Mart.
I've just been updating my spreadsheet(s) (:o) and have checked my annual gen for 2011, 2012 and 2013, which were 2431kWh (outstanding April, May & June that year:T) , 2339kWh and 2288kWh, respectively.
2014 is shaping up quite nicely so far with the first 3 months generating 488kWh
First 3 months of 2011, 2012 and 2013 generated 336kWh, 451kWh and 305kWh respectively.
(Of course past performance is no guarantee of future performance)
