    Very warm, seemed a lot hotter here than the 'heat wave' a few weeks ago. Sad to see the monitoring recording how quickly the days are shortening, still a pleasing 6.2 & 2.1 O's today.

    Sun has just dipped down behind the hill, total for today 5.6, again peak power was only a little over 3000w, ambient temperature really taking its toll, losing 10% at the peak of the day.

    A near perfect curve today. Peek production was only 2.91 kW probably because it was a tad hot, no wind and no clouds.

    Still produced a Maiden + 0.03 O's
