    Later after dark they drop to about half that before going off line. What is going on?

    3.23 O today. So far this monthy four days of sustained cloud, one day of sunny spells and one day of sun, sun, sun so I'm behind PVGIS by a fair bit.

    I'm only 0.6 O's behind PVGIS...which is a lot better than last week's forecast suggested.
