I noticed my 7.2kWp array peaking at 8.6kW at times today. I assume this is due to the sun breaking through white clouds, and the extra irradiation is bouncing back off the white clouds.

Absolutely. Was along the prom this morning helping to marshal the kiddies prom run, it was tough going for the poor little mites in the strong winds, it was bad enough for me just trying to walk against it.
But for the most part I was working on the install of our two vehicle carport. Solar panels are due to arrive tomorrow, so no pressure!
