I'll add my data to this narrative. Holy shit indeed! That said, I'd have given up 200 kWh of July's generation for literally any rain. This chart is only for my original E/W arrays too, it doesn't include my newer South arrays, which takes July's total to over 1.4 MWh! #solar

Bar chart showing my solar generation for each month over the last few years. The bar for July 2026 is noticeably higher than any previous month.

Holy shit! Like bollocks is climate change not real, my solar panels generated 651 kWh in July. Not only is that abnormally high for July, it's also the most my panels have ever generated in a single month by a HUGE margin. Previous record was 596 kWh in May 2023.

Still working on moving away from my Synology NAS but I need to find alternatives for critical functions. I'm stuck on replacing Hyper Backup, Hyper Backup Vault, and Active Backup for Business. Anyone got any suggestions that they've used? Ideally Docker-based and open source!
