Default Sunny yesterday and today!

Yesterday, I used the MSW inverter with the batteries/tracker to run my PC and some other loads for about 8 hours.
In the evening, I still had about 12.75v(51v bank) on the batteries (no load).

When the sun came out fully this morning, my 500w tracking array was providing a full
500w of charging power into the bank (Bulk mode).
Which kinda makes me glad that I didn't spring for the MPPT charge controller.

Also checked on the Canadian twins, and they were pushing 412 watts into my hotwater storage..
Which I think is pretty dang good for early morning sun, on a non-tracking array..
