+Today's solar eclipse took a healthy bite out of the energy generated by
+our solar panels this afternoon. According to the [solar eclipse page
+on timeanddate.com][timeanddate-eclipse], the moon obscuring the sun
+from 2:04 pm until 4:32 pm Eastern.
+
+Those times line up perfectly with the dip shown on our dashboard:

+[{{< pe-figure "dashboard" >}}][dashboard]
+
+
+Unfortunately we couldn't find our solar eclipse glasses, so we had to
+fall back to [ye olde pinhole method][pinhole].
