In comparing solar production from March 2023 to March 2024, they look pretty much the same at 0.7kwh more produced in 2024 than in 2023..
But, in looking at it more closely, you can tell it was cloudier during March of 2024 than in 2023. I know that doesn't seem to jive, until you see that there were 3 days in 2023 with absolutely no production and two days with nearly no production (all from snow cover / power outage). taking the monthly production and dividing by 28 (days with at least some production), the daily average is 20.025 kwh / day
2024 only had 1 day with absolutely no production due to snow cover. Taking the monthly production and dividing by 30 days (days with some production), the daily average is 18.713 kwh/day.
Extrapolating further, if each of those non-production days had produced the average for that month, March 2023 would have produced a total of 620.775 kwh and March 2024 would have produced 580.103 kwh - a difference of 40.672 kwh.
I realize all that is meaningless in the long run, but does tell me that I wasn't crazy for thinking it was a cloudier March than usual.
Ah, gee, Bogie. I coulda told you that you are not crazy - lol.
