    First impressions this morning are that it won't be as good here as previous days. High level cloud around and a definite haze in the air, which I'm guessing is the pollution from Europe and the Saharan sand that has made the news. Lovely.

    Strange day today. Steady ramp up this morning, making me think another Hawaii was on the cards. Almost a straight line. Then sudden drop to 500 Watts where it sat for a while, then ramped up again with some drastic drops during the afternoon.

    Total of 4.11 Os today
    2.43 from 9 x 270 Trina panels. Samil solar river 2600 inverter. Due South. 30 pitch. East coast of Scotland just North of Forth bridge.

    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).
