    It's days like today which have surprised me the most on the positive side.

    Dull, overcast, rain, wind, sunny spells and yet somehow still managed 18kw/h or 4.5 O's

    Hard but fair ....... hard but fair. And Oscar is equally unrelenting too. :p

    On the bright side, it'll make my first Hawaii of the year all the more sweeter, when it finally arrives. Weird day yesterday, but closed a bit above target with about 20kWhs, so no complaints.

    Third consecutive day that my generation peak has hit 3599kW, I'm guessing that's my limit as imposed by the inverter, (given it's model number has 3.6 in it)?
    Either way, I'm happy, as wasn't expecting such a figure due to my panels orientations.

    That's really quite impressive given you have panels facing in totally opposite directions!
