Hours of Sunshine

I have downloaded the latest v1.9.1 version of Cumulus--very nice indeed.
The uploaded data to my website is showing a 'O' for "Hours of Sunshine", yesterday, when in fact there was a lot of sun at my station location.
There are 'solar settings' in the station configuration--do I need to alter these, perhaps?
Congrats on the new, improved software.

Yes, you'll need to tweak the settings and experiment. I'm surprised that you're getting zero hours, though; what sort of figures are you getting for solar radiation? Sorry to ask a silly question, but you do have a solar sensor?

No, I have the Vantage Vue and therefore, no solar sensor.
BUT, I would have thought that the 'sunshine hours' heading on the display would not appear when there was no sunshine data being transmitted.
To the viewer of the display, it looks odd that the detailed records of weather on a sunny day just shows a zero. It doesn't look good.
Can I remove all reference to 'Hours of Sunshine'.
I would willingly buy a solar sensor but, that is not an option for the Vue.

Just edit the web page(s). They're really just examples, it's up to you what you want to display on your web site.

That's fine.
Good weekend.
