    The cold temperature kept production up. Wonder good well it would have been if the clouds had stayed away?

    After quite a few middling days had another record for our system at 22.4kW or 6.2 O's. On track for about 105% of PV-GIS by the end of the month.
    The bright sun and chill in the air had my eldest excitedly speculating if we'll break 7 O's this week. I think she's a bit optimistic, but it's great she's so engaged, and we already hit 1O today by nine am.
    Had our lowest import yet as well at 1.2kWh which was nice. A combination of generation lasting past half eight and an early bedtime.

    Trace those peaks as a continuous curve - it'll give you an idea!
