Overcast, no direct sun… and my roof array still peaks at ~2.6kW—enough to cover the house and export to the grid. Here’s a real-world cloudy-day test of my brand-new rooftop solar.

What you’ll see:

Initial surprise: 1,646W with zero sun and oak tree shade
“Weak” morning array: 18 panels on the shaded side still producing
Main array: 24 panels on the evening side (no shade) ready to shine
Overcast peak: ~2,600W and exporting to the grid—even with AC and a heavy PC setup running
Takeaway: Diffuse light + good array design = real production on dreary days

Notes:

Location: Florida home install
Old secondary system is OFF during this test
This is a quick, real-world snapshot—not a lab benchmark
Got questions about shading, east/west arrays, or grid-tie vs. backup? Drop them in the comments—I’m tracking performance and will share updates when we get full sun.
