    I think the rain washed down dust off my panels, resulting in an unexpected spike after 3:30PM.

    Some poor days over the weekend and yesterday, but this afternoon I passed through the 4,000kWh generated barrier.:beer:Today is the 363rd day of my system being installed.

    From a South East facing system with some shading this seems like a good result. I will post a full year's results on Thursday after I've had the system up and running for 365 days.:T

    3 Os today on the sunny-ish South Coast, but the last four days have been moderate to dire. Still, even the half Os add up, don't they!
    Well done, Jimmyboy's roof!
