Funny old day. Cloudless, from dawn to dusk, but the irradiance was even lower than yesterday, at around 650W/m2, in the "peak" hours. Looking at the humidity charts, there was a band of higher RH, following the Irish Sea coast, that extended inland as far as my location. I guess the water absorbs a lot of the energy. UV index was lower, too.6

I once saw a halloween costume for a dog in Pets at Home, that was a small toy knight attached to a large white cloth with red crosses. It would make a dog look like a crusader knight atop his charger. I chuckled away, pointed at it for Wifey and said "you can't send a knight out on a dog like this", she just looked at me sadly as if the last marble had finally vacated the bag.
Heat is hitting generation hard here, but still scoring Hawaii's each day, so excellent results, with month end projection now at 107%.Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.
For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.8 -
