    Worst day so far for me since the panels were installed with 1.39 kWh, 0.178 Os and just 25% of PVGIS daily estimate and it didn’t even rain.

    Still I must give credit to my panels and inverters for effort as they didn’t finally give up until 4.30pm.

    Mine haven't kept going for that long for quite a while, gave up well over an hour earlier today.
