solar in the rain.
Hi, Finally a day that is smoky and rainy. Output to the (hungry) battery bank is 3.3 amps at 1:00 p.m. local time on August 26, 2018. Panels are from 2005 (Unisolar) and are connected in series...

I do not thnk PTs Unisolars are amorphorus.
I've seen various outputs from 0 to 3 amps during rain events around noon here at 32' N, from 198 total watts. 130 watts of a poly framed Kyocera and 68 watts of Amorphorus pvl-68.
Lots of variables as to what one could/should expect with cloudcover and or rain.
ISTR PT said they are amorphous and so take up more roof space than polys would. 3.3 amps is fairly useless IMO, so with the batts hungry as he says, out comes the generator. Which again goes to show that solar is just a way to increase the time between generator recharges. :)
