The CAISO set another record on Monday, March 5, when a new peak solar production rose to 10,411 MW at 10:18 a.m. The prior record was 9,913 MW set on June 17, 2017.

A senior public information officer at CAISO stated, "The record is a result of a cool, sunny day....Because it was a weekend, and the weather was mild, the minimum load was relatively low, around 18,800 megawatts."
