Made 13.2kWh today, even the shade-ridden panels on the shed contributed!

Over 40 kWh today and still 3kW coming in.
Every day for the next week looks lush.
I'm off to a west facing hill soon to attempt to view the planet Mercury, it will be a first for me if it comes off.
There is about a 2 week window for viewing after the sun sets very close to the horizon, off to the WSW direction.
And it sets below the horizon within minutes.
EDIT - Mission accomplished

, the planet Mercury was very easy to see and it was there for over half an hour and was likely to be there for another 15 mins or so but we left as we were freezing. Sorry no pics as it was too small to come out on the iphone. Another couple were also there and they had a compact telescope which they kindly let us use. Venus, Jupiter and Mars were also clearly on show.

Around 52 kWh today, quite possibly a PB at this time of the year with the extra panels on the charge controllers.
Looks similar here on the south coast for another 5 days, Spring is definitely springing.
And as we approach the Spring Equinox, the sun will accelerate its rising in the sky day after day.

She arrived here today 6.25kW peak generation and exporting nearly 6kW too.
Utterly astonished.
Batch cooking out pasta sauce too, solar only. No WBS

we had a Comma in the garden today, seen 2 bumblebees now too...
(Note to self: I must remember not to chase off - or worse - very early white butterflies as they are probably female orange tips!)
