May? From my stats I will be lucky to beat March (monthly gen figure).

Yeah I had a couple of bad days middle of May

Since I am west facing I think my figures may vary more than someone with S facing.
i.e. higher deviation from average.

I will beat March generation within the next few days, but wont come close to April or May. I could easily be 150/250 down vs both those months.
March for me was 50 below target but I think I remember people saying it was a bad March vs historically

If these free Octopus sessions carry on they will be really useful for me for a late afternoon top up and mean those days no peak units virtually guaranteed!

April/May should be better than September though?

April not by that much but May for sure yeah.
My low for May was 5.8, my low for April was 4.96, March 2.91, I fully expect there is a chance I will be down to March low within the next few weeks.
My figures are dropping noticeably day by day.

But really the May was a freak couple of bad days, where as there were more bad days in April and March.
The two bad days in May were bookended by 24 and 22.8.

Its why I laugh when people without Solar say stuff like we could go off grid if we put panels up etc. No idea how variable it can be.

From what I could see yes, so surprised about that comment.

OK well sounds like your going by minimum values, whereas I was using my total gen for them periods to gauge.

I was yeah because the conversation was about days numbers.

TBH I look at both as they are both interesting and useful.
As I charge my batteries the minimum and maximum reasonable daily amount is almost more beneficial than the monthly total or average.
