Looks like a baseline of about 2KW. Is there a pool pump or HVAC fan running 24/7?. My baseline is about 200 wats for refrig and internet.

Micro inverters and Optimizers double the number of electrical connections 4 vs 2 per panel, increasing “points of failure”.

Added fan that turns on at sunrise and off at sunset for the 3.8 KW Delta inverter with convection cooling.

Yes sun needs to be shining to be off grid in spring and fall. Use a lot of grid power in summer. New energy star refrigerator, AC set to 79 -80, LED lights. I wish I had more solar in the summer.

Lake Conroe, TX. 12x 320 Hanwha Q CELL panels, delta 3.8 inverter, 1 PW, -20KW/day summer. Signed 10/12/19, installed 11/20/19, PTO 12/5/19, Entergy charges .12/kWH, pays wholesale, .03/kWH for power sent back to grid, so set to self power most of time. Gas heat, dryer etc. 3 days...

In a power outage, >5KW inverter may shut down solar with only 1 power wall and grid not available to absorb the energy

Add 2 more north panels for a total of 4 on that area of the roof
