Just wanted a quick opinion....was it that February was abnormally decent for generation or that March has been bad?
Was expecting more from March tbh but I'm still in my first year so don't have any past results to compare with.

Snip of my SolarEdge install that has been in for 3 years.
13 south facing panels


Early March was dreadful (East of England) until around the 21st / 22nd then things improved.
2nd worst March in 9 years for me....so yes, March has been pants...
Feb 2022 - 185kW generated
Mar 2022 - 425kW generated
Feb 2023 - 187kW generated
Mar 2023 (so far) - 287kW generated
So February about the same as last year, but March is way down on last year. I'm sure I read something about March 2022 being a record year or close to record year for solar in the UK.

I can't compare year on year. Kept adding more pv so the data is not fair.
But
Feb 2022 6.98kw - 218.31
Feb 2023 11.38kw - 392.37
March 2022 6.98kw - 478.86
March (as of 10:35am today) 2022 11.38kw - 593.53
So yes, bad.
Basically - March sucked big time.
March 2022 = 490Kwh
March 2023 = 350Kwh

Sorry, feel like this is my fault…
Joked to everyone we’d barely see the sun again once mine was installed (mid feb)…
Met office have published some interim data for March confirming what we all know…

Thanks for the replies!! Looks like we all had a rubbish March then :/
April seems to be starting off on the right foot though....
