I have 22 - 220w panels that power my RE system. This is a theoretical output of 4840w. The system is less than a year old, so I am not quite experienced with it's ins and outs.
When I got the system in December, I understood that the winter output would be pretty small. It was winter, with the short days, frequently overcast skies, etc.
In the long spring days of May and early June, it was not uncommon to get 3.8+ kW out of the system, bringing in +/-30kWH/day.
During the height of the summer, I had hoped to get closer to 4.0-4.5kW out of the panels. Instead, I rarely have gotten over 2.8kW, or ~20kWH/day.
I know that some panels experience some decrease in performance due to heat, but it seems like I am only getting half the output I should be getting, and more distressingly, the output has dropped rather than increased.
The system was professionally installed, but like many contractors communication (especially 7 months after installation) is somewhat lacking.
Any thoughts?
