What have they predicted for the month? About 415kWh?

PVGIS predicts about 350kWh in April for your location with 3.3kW of panels pointing true south with a 35 degree roof angle.

Have a look here and plug in your details. It'll be more accurate than your installer prediction:


They have said its 390 kWh for April. It says on the paperwork that the calculation is based on the standard MSC procedure but there is no evidence to back that up. My first full year was 2% above their estimate, so either it was a fluke or they have estimated it perfectly. But yeah your link says 350 kWh which is interesting. Still not going to get to that target either!

Actually the estimate on this link is more than my installer estimate. 3100 kWh per year vs 3171 kWh. Its just spread out differently over the months
