Solar panel production figures

I've been working around the house today doing a few odd jobs, I thought it had been a fairly bright day, although overcast, but looking at my generation of 6.75 kWh its really grim. Even though I've had solar for years, it still seems to surprise me just how quickly it drops off this time of year.

My batteries didn't even get to 100%, they were at 96% at 5am after their 3 hour off peak charge, then they dropped and managed to charge back to just over 90%, but by 4pm peak time they were down to 90%.
 
I managed a ghastly 3.1kWh today.

Salvation came in the form of Intelligent Go - plugged the car in at 3pm and got a charging window immediately from 3 until 7pm - filled my boots with that one, batteries back to 100% and the garage heated with electricity rather than diesel for the first time since switching! This has made me wonder if I should do this more frequently during the winter months (ie make the automation prefer the electric heating during IOG low-rate windows). I don't think it makes direct financial sense but it will mean the diesel tank lasts a bit longer which saves me time...
 
Ok, now the weather is just being a dick, the audacity of this

Another terrible day, batteries were at 80% at 4pm, so after only 2 hours force export they were at 45% which is when I stop exporting.

Total for the months so far, 21.1 kWh, average of 7 kWh a day.


SolarEdge: 1.5 kWh
Garage: 1.96 kWh
North west roof: 1.95 kWh
House rear wall: 0.32 kWh
Peak power was 1.91 kW at 10:33

Total generated today: 5.73 kWh
Total exported today: 7.125 kWh
Total imported today: 24.733kWh
