    Another day that just about powered the inverter 0.06 O's

    That raises the question: do people publish their output figures to take into account the energy required to power their inverters and battery management systems? If so, I would need to use negative values for yesterday (although the inverter reports a minimum value of zero). Just based on the panel output, it was 0.13 O's
