I love partly cloudy days

This is what radiation tanning does on a partly cloudy day. This is from 596 watts of solar panels.

For those that don't understand what I'm talking about. We've all been told that you can get sun burned faster on a partly cloudy day. This should prove that point as the sun is so intense today that my solar panels put out 677 watts on one Pmax Sweep. That's 81 watts more than they were designed to put out. This is a good thing for solar panels and a bad thing for skin.

Oh! I thought you turned your solar panels into a tanning booth.

Well, no more tanning up on the roof of the trailer I guess.

Tanning on the roof is easy. Go up there, look around and you're done. 2 weeks worth of tanning booth in 2 minuets. Saw 694 watts yesterday after an big thunder storm and the sun came out. Didn't last long, but I kept expecting to see smoke coming off the roof.

We finally got some rain down here in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas. About 3". Not a drought buster, but at this point anything helps.
