October's solar generation stats

We have a 2kW 8 panel solar array (Panasonic HIT panels), mounted on a south-facing roof at approximately 35-40° angle from the horizontal, which were installed at the end of August 2013.

This is the results for October 2014 (in red) with last year's results (green), and distribution by average sunlight 1971-2010 (met office stats) in blue:


The generation for October 2013 was 92.06kWh. This year the panels have done 103.99kWh, 11.93kWh (13%) more than last year. 2014 is certainly a significantly sunnier autumn than 2013.

With 341 hours of daylight in October (sun up to sun down for all 30 days), the average kWh generated per hour of daylight in October 2014 was 0.30kW, compared with 0.27kW from last October.
