Here's my sunny day fool proof solar outage gauge.
When the black shadow is in the dish bullseye it's time to change birds or wait awhile :)

Before I retired I worked at a large teleport, there were certain very disruptive maintenance activities which would cause total outages. Guess when we did them, in the middle of solar outages! Sometimes we scheduled them on consecutive days.
