95.7 kWh here, 21.3 kWh per kWp and 99% of prediction... Nice, after 113% of prediction in January too.

p.s. just passed the 3 MWh PV milestone too! Just over 1 year's generation, I never imagined I would be talking about MegaWatts!
2.0 kW/4.62 MWh pa in Ripples, 4.5 kWp W-facing pv, 9.5 kWh batt
30 solar thermal tubes, 2MWh pa in Stockport, plus Congleton and Kinlochbervie Hydros,
Most travel by bike, walking or bus/train. Veg, fruit - and Bees!

Terrible February production. I mean it's never good, being winter, but this year the panels were snow covered much of the month. When we get the total snow in one or two big storms, each time within a few days likely to have avalanched off the panels. But if instead 3-4" every few days, can stay snow covered, as the time to avalanche about the same for 3" as it is for 12".

Some figures from me:

Import: 2,221kWH
Export: 507kWh

I've been on a mission to measure consumption and therefore have monitors on various devices. Frustraitingly not on the EV charging. If anyone knows of a cheapo energy monitor, let me know. I don't want to pay £70 for the Shelly one! But here are some figures form the devices I do measure:

A2A: 292kWh
Living room heater: 132kWh
Kitchen heater: 114kWh
Tumbler: 65kWh
Storage Heater (garden office): 60kWh
Dishwasher: 45kWh
Washing Machine: 42kWh
Boiling Tap: 33kWh
12x 340W JA Solar panels (4.08kWp)
3x 380W JA Solar panels (1.14kWp)
6x 2.4kWh Pylontech batteries (14.4kWh)
LuxPower inverter/charger

Sunsynk main system generated 168kWh, vs PVGIS of 150, which is good, very much helped by the last 3 days of the month!
Hoymiles man-cave system generated 46kWh.

Definitely on the up, spring has sprung / or not quite, depending which version you use
Solar PV since July '22:
5.6kWp east/west facing
3.6kW Sunsynk hybrid inverter
2x 5.12kWh Sunsynk batteries
1.6kWp Hoymiles East/West facing PV on the man cave
Ripple DW 2kW
Ripple WB 200W

We had the panels completely covered for a whole week in January, which is pretty unusual these days - it's very rare to get snow staying on the ground for long.

Well I am in a different climate. We've had no bare ground at our house since Thanksgiving (end of November). Mind, two miles down where our road meets the highway there have been periods of open ground (about 300' lower elevation). And down in the nearest "city" where we can shop, most of the time bare ground (about 700' lower elevation.

Global warming is climate, not weather. Here whether get snow or rain in winter depends depends more on storm track than anything else, whether we are on the warm or cold side of the storm. The projection for us is for warmer, but not less snow because storms stronger, and still usually cold enough for it to be snow, not rain.
