Cosmetically it really modernizes my 30 year old home. I don't have a good finished product photo but here is something.

great point. area under the curve is what matters. tall and skinny or fat and wide can be the same.

And thank you for everyone giving their time and thoughts on this. What an awesome community!

0.6kwh in the morning because my batteries were 0% at that time.

Ok, so the ultimate question is: How does one find out if they are getting what they paid for?

If this is to be expected for a 20 kw solar roof at my sunny location in northern CA, it is a bit disheartening that it can basically only handle my AC at this time of the year, no EV charging has been done. I "overbuilt" this system, they recommended a 16 kw system.

this day i believe did not throttle because the batteries were being charged, and they never reached 100%. The next day when the battery was full it did shut off production to minimum needed.

This is my best day

Great. thank you for the data point and and inverter information. I see that they can max out and clip. I've also added the orientation of my roof if that helps people. Like everyone, I guess, that buys an expensive item, they want to make sure it is what they paid for.

so the inverters would change the production number? they are powerwall plus x 2 .

the house is actually rotated counter clockwise about 20 degrees. All help is appreciated.

sorry for my brief discription. I would think that my numbers (40% of stated) were low enough that specifics were not needed. But it is a solar roof. It does not have steep angles, that is what I meant by within normal range, angle of roof is roughly 30 degrees. about 1/3 face east, 2/3 west...

solar roof tiles, not panels

two inverters i believe. I will check tonight about logging directly into the inverter

Hi, I'm hoping someboday can help me understand if I have a problem or this is expected. I got a 20kW solar panel installed 3 days ago. It is on normal angle roof, no shade system in northen california. For the last two full sunny days I'm only getting peak 8.9 and 7.8 kW. I thought I should...
