    March finished up a good month, 788 kwh generated, well over double the February total. Still in my first year with solar so don't have a previous March to compare it to but I'm very happy with this one. My highest generation day was the 20th at 49.7 kwh.

    5% higher than last year's March, trying to remember was it last year that was a freakishly good March that was never to be repeated?

    Last years March was good - but not quite in the epic standing of March 23. However, May 25 was alltime legend for virtually everyone.

    Quite a few. In my case an AlphaESS Smile5 v3. It did not have this as a supported user facing capability until quite recently. It could be done via modbus, but support and warranty are important to me. Makes for a better return and improves the case for Pinergy -- for me.
