It is just a graph showing the panels waking up at the crack-of-Noon.
The graph covers a two hour period. The panels were covered with about 6 inches of snow last night.
There are two solar systems each consisting a 200W panel with an MPPT controller. The graph is an overlay of both systems. There are two legends. The data is gathered at one minute intervals from the controllers by a Raspberry Pi 3B.
Each controller is producing about 50W or 25%. The panels are not tilted to 60 degrees and the sky is completely overcast with more snow expected this PM.

I love technical data on graphs. Was this graph from output of the controller or did you DIY it?
DIY. I have Morningstar controllers and have basically re-engineered their free MSView software into the Raspberry(RPI).
One big improvement is that the RPI connects to my hotspot and provides a web server that I can reach through any web browser device which is also connected to my hotspot. The graph is a screenshot posted from my workstation located inside the house. The van is in the driveway.
Here is a 10 day stacked-bar graph showing the daily Amp hours of charging from the two controllers. I included the Firefox window where you can see the IP Address of the RPI.
