Hi all,
Today the SF East Bay we had a lot of clouds drifting across the sky. As a result, I was able to get this fun graph of the effect of clouds on solar production. We nominally generate up to 8.5 kW. But, you can really see the "cloud edge" effect that amplifies the solar generation as the sun comes out from behind a cloud. And how generation is crushed by clouds drifting by. The top row shows the generation at the time when I captured this screen, 3:40PM. Negative values in any amount mean current is flowing opposite of the legend.
