OK so I got my solar tile roof back in Feb and the team did a fantastic job putting it on. Granted it took longer than expected but the end result is better than I was hoping for. There were some changes in the electrical scheduled prior to final permitting when... COVID came along. So I have a finished roof over my head, but I'm technically not "on the grid". I have no data in the Tesla app yet because it hasn't been finaled.

Well I wanted to try things out so I turned it on and it works! And I have numbers that seem pretty much insanely high. I wanted to see if I'm reading this the wrong way.

I have two inverters, one for each side of my roof. From the picture, the visible side gets the morning sun. The opposite side (which is uninterrupted because it has no dormer window) gets the afternoon sun.

If I'm looking at the data the right way, I'm consistently getting > 40kWh generation per day! The specs said it'd be just over 10kWh. What's wrong (or right)??? Of course I turned it off after a few days of testing...
