Fine morning, then the clouds gradually got darker from around 12:30. Now its too dark for production.

Thank you. I do benefit from a near perfect roof at around 30deg pitch and only 2deg off due south, with no shading. Panels are also only 6 months old so we are seeing near perfect generation on a clear sunny day. We've certainly had a strong finish to Feb and strong start to March here - hoping it continues!Coastalwatch said:Well done Ned with an Hawaii so early in the season, great to achieve. Can't compete with that but a 3.8 O's today to start March off will do nicely thank you.

Just like every other year before (and probably any future year when an asteroid doesn't cover us in dust) insolation will continue to improve till June (apart from cloudy days) and then get worse till Xmas.tunnel said:
