Anyone currently using solar?

I'm happy to comment regarding what is, and isn't, acceptable performance.

Another that comes to my mind is the daily outputs which in the case of Scoodar would be the sum of the two inverters. Instantaneous output would also be the sum of the readings on the two inverters.

In the best of conditions (clear sky with no cloud), mine have never fed in the rated output of the panels. Best is about 1400 to 1450w from my 1.52 kW system. Readings though can sometimes be higher than that for brief periods when the sun is shining and there is also some additional reflectivity from nearby cloud. On a very hot still clear day, peak output can fall to around 1200w in summer (as expected bearing in mind the temperature performance of the panels). Peak instantaneous output at the winter solstice is around 1000w (no cloud in sky).

Daily from mine ranges from around 10.5kW in summer to around 6kW in winter. In the absence of shade these figures I would estimate to be around 11kW and 6.5kW respectively. That's with a roof angle of 22.5 degrees very slightly west of due north and a latitude of 32 degrees (Perth).
