At least you can see the panels! Where I am (not at home), we've had about 4 days that have been totally "dricht" (Scots dialect), generating about 300 Wh per day of PV from a 3.8 kWp array. Yesterday, it went over 150 W for just 4 mins.

I can relate to that.

Mine didn't do much better, given the hours of daylight and size of the system. (10.1 kWp)

But, You got skunked!
