    Yesterday was changeable giving 4.53 O, though I observed moments of instantaneous generation over 5300W from my 5.2kWp system when the sun peeked through the clouds

    Early finish as not likely to see any more generation tonight. Decent morning but poor afternoon. East roof 3.6 Os, west 1.9 Os for a combined 2.7 Os. Today and month to date both 76% of PVGIS.

    Question: my east inverter tends to sit for an hour or so at close of business at a steady 32 watts and the west at 37 watts but the generation meter doesn’t move. Later after dark they drop to about half that before going off line. What is going on?

    Mine does very similar, I put it down to the fact that the GM needs more than 50 watts to get off its backside..:rotfl::rotfl:
