Today's Solar Eclipse Impact on generation :-)

[GregTR]

Here is a cute chart of my solar generation today during the annular solar eclipse compared to a "normal" day from 5 days ago. Today's generation was 73.7 kWh while the other one from 10/9 was 84.5 kWh and 10/8 was 87.6 kWh so the solar eclipse had about 15% loss for the day, about 12.3 kWh.

I'll do the same comparison next April with the total solar eclipse coming through...

Very cool thanks for sharing. Super underappreciated post here.

Were you able to do this with the total eclipse? I see where you had mentioned trying to get those results also.

Clear skies 93% blocked by the moon. Output dropped to 440watts would typically be 6000 at that time of day.

Unfortunately we had cloudy skies here in TX so didn't get such a pretty chart as I did last fall.

Clear skies in NH.
