    How about a vertical test using sun angle at your house for this time of the year. Then move it away from that angle to show the drop off. Just a thought...

    The PV doesn't care if the angle is east-west or north-south relative to the sun, so the result should be the same, unless I don't understand your suggestion.

    Do you think that you got better results in the west because the inverter was warmed up. I wonder if you would get the same results going west to east. Mine seem to perform better once up and going and hold longer before droping off. Just a thought.

    Hmmm, I never considered that. I'll have to keep an eye on that. Thanks.
