I live in NJ and this production is what Tesla shows. I do have trees in the back and my roof is facing East.

Great information here, thanks everyone! @jjrandorin - I hear you regarding the inverters. I do not believe I will have clipping (possibly in summer) but maybe for a couple of hours. I was thinking also if the single point of failure is one inverter whether having two would offset that. While...
