Today's solar eclipse took a healthy bite out of our solar energy
production for the day. According to [the details on
timeanddate.com][timeanddate-eclipse], the partial eclipse in our area
lasted 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].
