    Best day since installation:
    1.37 O's


    And with today being the winter solstice I reckon it's fair to say there will be many more over the coming months. :)
    First 16 days after installation were really bad for solar production, not exactly what I was expecting. Today (26.12), being sunny,  I can see them doing a better job:  yield 2.56kwh until 11:29.
