Comment:
A new solar tracker was installed on 1 August. Since then, the azimuthal direction was a bit off, affecting direct and diffuse radiation in the early morning, just before the sunsensor starts correcting the pointing. Therefore, DIR and DIF measurements have been removed in the morning until DIR > 300 W/m².
