Didn't quite have a full month of stats for August since I didn't want to leave the system unattended at the start of the month while I was away.
I have also rearranged the panels better (tilted, unshaded) towards the end of the month.
See my little summary here if you are interested:

Remember that this is an 'add-on' to my RE office lighting pilot, only designed to skim 'excess' energy to the laptop/server, so 13% overall off-grid time is not too shabby.
I always had power for my 12V office lighting when I have wanted it, so this really is 'excess' energy that I'm using, at least so far.
It will be interesting to see how this changes for autumn/fall and winter. I may have put together my dedicated and much larger PV system by then of course, or tinkered with this one by building a small wind turbine! B^>
