    A record 6.36 O for me today :D, first 'maiden'. It's still generating but an instantaneous value of 44W so won't make anything that would be recorded on the inverter that has 0.1kWh resolution.

    Well, I wasn’t expecting that after today’s early morning forecast. Yes we did have a couple of hours cloud mid morning but the afternoon couldn’t have been much better. (Well it could if I didn’t have so many trees which are just now coming into play in the early evening.)

    So here are the stats for the best day of the year to date and best since 6th August last year.

    31.71 kWh
    4.06 Os - first wink of the year
    2.86 Os from the east panels
    Hawaii from the west panels
