[QUOTE="dipesh, post: 547633, member: 36894"] Panels: Canadian Solar HiKu6 MONO 550W x6 (8 more panels to install) Inverter + battery: Fox Ess H1 6kw + 5kw battery Inverter is in an outbuilding with ambient temps, inverter and battery are within operating range so that's not the issue. Today its been rainy with thunderstorms in London so I haven't really produced much but I think [USER=35106]@Ucatchmydrift[/USER] is right the inverter clips the production as there isn't any export to the grid and batteries are full however I'm still concerned about the inconsistent production and will need to monitor over a longer period with good weather. Sometimes I'm producing only 400w 8am and another day with same weather I'm producing 1.2kw. It's my first experience with solar panels so not too sure what is normal and how sensitive the panels can be. it's only been 4 days I've installed and I've produced 10kw on a sunny day and the panels have no shading. With today's poor weather I've done 6.9kw; I guess I won't be able to tell the total daily production until I start exporting to the grid so the inverter doesn't clip the production. [/QUOTE]
