    Out of curiosity - What is the Highest any domestic system has gone to?

    My best in:

    2014 7.39 06/06
    2015 7.12 11/06
    2016 6.77 09/05

    I think you could do an 8 in May or early June if you had a cloudless sky with a cold wind to keep the panels cool to increase production. Obviously no shading and the futher south you go the better the chance. Others with more knowledge may give a definative yes or no.
