Comment:
Days with fog/stratus events (6, 7, 8, 11 to 15, 18, 23 to 28, 30). From 13.09.2025 20:00 until 01.12.2025 12:43 the tracker lost its position due to firmware problems. Pyrheliometers were not oriented towards the sun shadow balls were not functioning. DIR, DIF were completely lost. Shadowing of LWD did not work. During daytime with direct solar radiation on the dome. LWD is probably up to 4 W/m² too high.
