    Supply unplugged from grid and attached to generator

    We had noticed that our supply was going to be switched to a generator today. Indeed it happened - this is now installed at the bottom of the street. Can you guess what time it was attached? SolarEdge inverter seems happy enough, although it hasn't been very sunny today.
