Waited a bit to start up computers as we were below 30% this morning and under 300 W when we came in. Currently around 450 W; should be good to go when the sky clears.

Battery input has been fluctuating between 650 W - 950 W this morning due to the thickness of the cirrus crossing; currently have majority of things powered down so we can increase the charge at a faster rate and be ready to go when the weather clears.
