Loving the great sunny weather this month in the west

would rather have rain right now than high solar production
Just wait until a big outage hits his area.
Fun article from the WSJ about how people are getting battery backup.

Wary of Being Left in the Dark, Americans Produce Their Own Power

At the rate we’re going, the nuclear war with Russia and China will blot out the sun as well.
There will definitely be a chip shortage and TP shortage during that time.
That is great! I am wondering how much my system will output during summer. Today was just shy of 30 khw on a wall to wall sunny day. I live in Massachusetts.

Ditto...would love some rain to wash off the abdundant tree pollen accumulation from the past month. Spring time in February.
I thought they only activated Stormwatch when the weather was such that the power was forecast to be interrupted. Hard to see how cold in the valley would be low enough to do that.
Also, good sun for us today. Powerwalls at 100% and sending excess solar to the grid.
Right - I was just checking whether the freeze warning triggered SW which it does not. I could see how freezing rain might be a threat to power
Today is day 1 of full monitored production and of course, it is cloudy and wet most of the day.
Still, we have so far managed 23.1 kW from our 7.4 kW system. It will get better without clouds and as the sun gets above the trees in our valley.

i'm doin' real good thanks to this:
that's what's left of a 50ft cedar tree that used to shade the panels from oct-march every year. tree company can't come till early march to grind it up.
20kwh vs 16kwh the year before on the day after the tree fell.

Your graph looks like ours! And for the same reason, but an Oak instead of a Pine.
Not that we would want to, but the city will not let us cut down heritage trees (those that you cannot wrap your arms around the trunk.). And it would take 3-4 people holding hands to go around the Oak.
