I've noticed I've not quite reached the 3.68kw of my inverter this week even though there's not a cloud in the sky, I'm going to put it down the the angle of my panels and the heat as it's around 30 degrees ambient.
Plus the panels are really dusty again.

@EcoScruples I'm finding that the hotter it gets, the more I go over that 3.68kw. Under 25C it always caps at 3.669/3.670. 19-20 July and in this recent hot spell I get capping as high as 3.739.
Somebody will let me know if my simple reasoning is correct. Grid is usually 240-ish and I've noticed it goes higher on these days, maybe 248-250. Could this be because 6 out of the 14 houses on our street have solar? Does this higher voltage help slurp a bit extra out of the inverter?

Lovely Sunny day but a bit of mist/sea fret slowed down the rise on the near perfect curve again today.
A bit on the hot side in the Sun.
