And that completes my first year of solar! This was the first month I had to charge my EV from the grid since the end of December 2020, not bad! My total from December 2020 to November 2021 inclusive is below. Note for the first four months I had only 9.2kWp and 12.6kWh battery, but I'm already in surplus.

6.1 kWp system facing south just outside Cork City. The Graph below shows 317 but for two days my logger stopped working in the midle of the day for some reason as you can see from the daily graph below also.
Best Day was 26.7 kWh on the 3rd Nov
Worst Day 1.5 kWh on the 28th and 19th of this month
That's super generating
Yah, first time posting here due to the install happening late Oct.
Setup: 5.3Kwp (1.5 Kwp East / 3.8 Kwp West) South Dublin City
One thing I noticed is that East/West splits really aren't great in winter.

6kWp system, SSE facing, Co. Kildare. installed Monday 15th.
Generated 72kWh. Nearly half of it 21st-23rd Best day 21st 14.1kWh.
I would think I might have got to over 150kWh if it had been there for the whole month, I seem to have missed out on a few good days at the start of the month!

Finally, the summer is over, and I have generated more solar than I used. 11.5kW system, central Texas. 48% of power consumption was produced at time of generation by the panels, the rest went on credit, the net export was used to offset some of the natural gas bill. (Local utility supplies both gas and electrical), but because of the horrible 'excess' sales rate, it dropped the bill very little. I get a 1:1 kWh credit for exports if I use the credit within the same billing period, but excess left over after the month is sold for about 15% of what I buy for.

Lil Bit exported on the "good" days at the start of the month when batteries were charged to 100%.
Should be doubling the battery storage in Jan.
Already past the 400€ per year "saving" prediction on the Solar only, and 20€ short on the 400€ prediction on the battery system.... yay for increased energy prices!
On track for a 8-9 yr payback.

Battery size hasn’t increased yet :-)
Just about to post an update on the battery options thread.
Just hit the 200kWh generated since going live about 7 weeks ago!!!
Nice one Andy! You were setup roughly about the same time as myself (last week in Oct me) and your kicking my butt. My details for this year so far are
Energy Data : 2021-01-01 ~ 2021-12-14
Generation to Home: 140.9 kWh
Generation to Battery: 2.3 kWh
Generation to Grid: 1 kWh
Total: 144.2 kWh
And I've a slightly bigger array (5.3Kwp split 1.4kwp exactly East/3.7 Exactly West). Also in Dublin like you and it's sunny out there today.
South facing arrays , or even semi south facing in these months of winter really improve the production. Still I'll get my revenge in high summer when I'll be producing more at 4:30am :-)
2.8KW array, South Facing, Meath ( No Battery installed, 10KW battery on way )
