I'm such an idiot - duplicate posts. I shouldn't be left alone with a keyboard. 

Anyway, here is the (duplicate) graphic.

Interesting the difference location makes.  Just looked at previous posts and you have

 

  1. Large solar array 3kw facing SE and 6kw facing SW with no overshading from trees / chimneys etc

We have similar amounts of PV, but in NE Scotland instead of Hampshire, plus we have morning and evening shading.

Interesting is Jan to March we produce similar to you, we have an array of vertical panels which helps, and the over shading is less of an issue as the sun sets before it gets there.  But after that we fall well behind by about 40%, this is a result of the over shading and the vertical panels optimised for winter production.

Yes - we are lucky to have no shading to the east, a bungalow as our neighbour to the south, and mature oak trees about 100m away to the west. 
I think even partial shading impacts solar performance.
I've since thought (that we should have had) vertical panels for the winter. But too late now and I don't want to mess up a clean installation. 
Prioritising winter solar over summer solar sounds like a fair deal.
