I've kept the record from day one and i have now got pages of data to look back upon (I don't know why)

I'm too lazy for that.
I let my server talk to the inverter and upload the production numbers to a website. (pvoutput.org)
It comes down to what you want out of it. We're not chasing any numbers as such and so just wait for the bill to come in with a credit every few months. Others I know monitor everything from dawn to dusk and get really upset if there is a spike in daytime usage etc.
You'll find you're 'level' soon enough.
** If your inverter has bluetooth and you have a computer with bluetooth - make use of it.
