The fantastic run has come to an end with 4.75 Os, still great for the time of year though.

Run of Hawaiis ended unfortunately:
4.88 O yesterday
2.83 O today
I need 7 O more this month to make PVGIS, Given I was on target for about 70% a week ago that's an amazing reversal.

Pretty good day for March. Generated almost double the expectation for March at about 4.6 Os and sneaked past the monthly expected total by 1.5 Os. Couple of days left to see how the month ends up...4
