    Better than I expected at 3.52 O's. It's the 0.02 that made it all worthwhile!

    3.44 Os. Wattson graph resembles a roller-coaster today.

    PVGIS is looking much better than for previous months: 226/376 = 60%.

    Things are brighter at Sterling Manor.
    I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".

    Touch and go as to whether I will make a Hawaii today. This morning it was touch and go as to whether I'd make a wink or my PVGIS target for the day!

    It's definitely got brighter, but my south east facing panels (with afternoon shading no less) don't produce a lot after 4.
    3.924kWp (12X327Wp SunPower). SolarEdge SE3500 inverter.
    Surrey/SE. 30 degree roof pitch, chimney shading from mid afternoon.
