    My graph looks the same except it's flat on the top  :/

    It's always capped out at 3.669-3.671 before, yesterday it was 3.706-3.728. Is this a hot weather thing or should I be worried?
    I'm guessing 6.88 O's from 4.8 kWp of modules suggests my system isn't capped? The display setting on the inverter seems to indicate the installers haven't bothered to set any limit on it.

    I still managed 6.19 O's yesterday from my 5.25 kWp despite the cap, so it's not too bad.

    Don't think I can get a 7 unless I have more batteries.

    Welcome back, hope you had a lovely holiday, sorry to hear about the Covid :(
    We had a bit of cloud this afternoon, which put a bit of a dent in generation. Still a decent day.
