PV Generation to Mid-April 2013

I'm posting my latest data updates here. The April 2013 is only to the 15th of the month hence the 268 kWhr. February, March, and even the first half of April are not so good for production, but then Jan-April 2012 were exceptionally beautiful conditions.
I also have posted immediately below my basic stats of kWhr and Dollars per day, averaged over the 2 3/4 year lifetime of the system. Overall my most interesting stats are 3.05 kWhr/kW/day and $2.44/kW/day. These numbers would be helpful for anyone to help estimate their expected revenues. Of course every system is different, mine is facing south east, etc. A more representative statistic will be from August 2013 when we will have the anniversary date. The 3.05 and $2.44 will increase a bit over the summer because we get most of our solar generation happening then, and the stats below don't include the 2013 summer data of course.
