    Thanks for that reply.
    I'm the same as you ... I kept a daily tally for 2 years then went weekly.
    Still do, it's a ritual.
    I love the way solar saves me money when the sun shines.
    During the wet season not so great but my annual power bill has dropped from $1400 to $120
    Payback = 4 years.
    Buy price - 24c/kwh
    Sale price - 9c/kwh
    Therefore we have organised the main usage, (hot water heating, pool pump, chest freezer, aircon etc), to run during max daylight hours.
    As you say - clouds and wet have a big impact.
    Still it's a no brainer for domestic users to go solar.
    Can't see it working for reliable industry use though.
    Maybe when battery storage becomes cheap as but ...
    there will be such a demand for lithium - cars, homes, industry etc that the price will remain high for quite some time.
