    17kWh, 3.83 O's
    Passed June PVGIS total.
    But that's now 18kWh and 4.05 O's. Maybe I shouldn't be so hasty.
    That’s interesting but how did you generate 1 kWh after 9.56 pm? Does your inverter reporting system take a while to catch up? Even so that’s a big hike. I have some WSW facing panels and they stop generating about 9pm. My inverter may show 30w or so after this but I’m not convinced that is true generation.

    Edit: I am not suggesting this applies to your system but you may find this thread interesting. You will see from that others report issues with their solar apparently generating when it is dark. https://myenergi.info/solar-delivering-always-100w-even-at-night-time-t4894-s10.html
    I really don't know, I have several ways of looking at the "same" data so it's possible one refreshed while another had not. I've mentioned before that I don't really trust the figures shown by my inverter but with no way of verifying them I just have to take them with a pinch of salt. 
    I don't think my inverter adds generation in the dark but it certainly takes a long time to go offline at this time of year.
    My inverter shows time as GMT - I don't always remember to mentally shift the data along the x axis.

    Lots of Sun. Dark clouds arrived around 16:00 followed by rain, then it chucked it down at 18:00. Much needed water for the garden.
