419 kWh, 56.6 kW per kWp and 109% of predicted. I have to find a way of using more power (or increase my peak export) as my non-peak export isn't worth a lot! Solar tubes are getting the cylinder scalding hot anyway...

GivEnergy have had issues with their data so no accurate figure.
But I suspect I’m in the region of 575-600 kWh. Previous best was May 2023 at 611 so pretty good numbers.
Export is 25% higher than last April, import 10% lower and I had access to a free local charger. So 3 EVs charging included in our totals.
It’s nuts really. Running 3 EVs, plus house and Octopus paid me to do it all. Albeit not in Nowty’s league but a profit is a profit :joker:

I use the "meter" tab on the "My Inverter" dashboard option. I think it takes the data from the smart meter, anyway it agrees exactly with what I think should have happened, and with my Octopus bill. (screenshot of yesterday up to midnight last night)

Very good April at 156kwh/kwp but not the 13yr record of 2020 at 161kwh/kwp. I find April to be the most variable with my worst at 104kwh/kwp

Generated a whopping 1.42MWh in April. Last year was 1.10MWh. That off the back of a gigantic uplift in March's generation too. Wonder what May will bring?

664.1kWh here, though very slightly under-reported as I moved the north facing array to a new inverter just before lunch yesterday and I don't yet have any stats from that inverter.

April 2024 generated 319kWh from just the south array
April 2023 generated 356kWh from just the south array

Very happy with this, and makes up for the unusually poor generation from the winter months.
