It was at least 119F at my house yesterday, 2 thermometers both in the shade agreed.

they provided 6,950 megawatts Friday says the article.

TED said we used 187 kWh yesterday, of that only 65 kWh came from the solar system. Cars really suck up the juice for the AC on high all day. Both 3 ton AC units ran at about 90-100% duty cycle from noon till 8PM. I pity those with no net metering and the same kind of consumption.

It's hot August nights. To be expected.

Solar system performance is down due to the heat.
