Solar Eclipse as seen by a solar array.
The solar eclipse of 21 August 2017 impacted the production of electrical power from my home roof mounted solar array. The graphic shows about a 50% dip in production around 2:30 p.m. when the sun blockage by the moon was about 50% and the subsequent recovery as the sun blockage is recovered. Power production was being impacted shortly after its peak about 1 p.m. as the production curve was already trending down towards sunset.
