Average temperatures need to be looked at in the right perspective and not used as an excuse for other problems.
The temperature in my neightbours covered patio on Tuesday reached 47.5 around 11:00AM but next time I looked at around 2:00PM it had dropped to 42.5

PS I have the house air conditioned in three sections. The main house has a 3.5KW unit and the bedroom and computer room have smaller units. During the heat I adjourned to the computer room at a comfortable 22. The household electric consumption was only 1.3 KW and the input from the solar panels 1.6KW at night I transferred the A/C to the bedroom (we needed the dooner). The total electric consumption for the 24hr period was 19 KWH ($5.18) and the solar input 9.7KW ($5.82) a nett gain my way.
