Commiserations Mart, by way of consolation dear ol' GF was whizzing round and generated 93% of it's absolute maximum for the 24 hour period.
It was a good day all round for renewables which contributed 68.2% of the countries energy needs and still looking similar also for today.😊

2.82 Os on an extremely changeable day. Have seen first 700+ Wm2 irradiance of the year, only to be plunged back to about 70 a few moments later. Still, with the negative overnight prices, not a bad day on the whole.
