Recorded half an hour at 67% last August, so not an unusual time of year to get good solar. Of course its less daylight hours so may not be the most over the course of the day.
Fun fact, Solar Panels work better in the cold than in the heat.
They recorded 72% last October.
The worst in August has been around 13% at 4:00am

That’s why you over spec solar.
I’ve had 2 days where my solar system hasn’t replenished my battery in winter. I still got to over 70% whilst heating the house.
You design it for the worst case scenario. It’s so cheap, especially in Australia.
I’m lucky where I live compared to other locations like south of the great divide.
We’ve got massive batteries being commissioned to absorb excess solar. More and more days are going to be completely supplied by renewables.
And I’ve mentioned EVs helping to absorb solar during the day.
Then we’ve got more wind into going the mix… and Snowy 2 and gas back up.
Anyone who thinks there is a need for Nuclear has rocks in their heads.
