    Zero here too - but very, very clean panels :D
    Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the end

    0.20 kWh just about enough to keep my smallest LED lit for 24 hours.

    That is the one I use to test my RCD, it takes so little current that I can discharge it to earth and the RCD does not notice.

    It also glows when turned off because of the induced current in a two way switching system.
