diy solar grid tie

[J.P.M.]

My array was approved with pge the 19th the same day I submitted the interconnect form. my 285 watt panels with m250 microinverters are producing 220 watts at peak, is that sound normal? The panels are 14 degree tilt and facing 200 degrees.

That output sounds similar to mine for close to the same day.

FWIW, my output on 10/22 at the time of minimum solar angle of incidence on the array (1253 HRS., P.D.T.) was 3,985 Watts. System STC size is 5,232 Watts. P.O.A. irradiance was 914 Watts/m^2, total P.O.A. irradiance on the array was 23,850 Watts,. Amb. air temp. @ the array was 33.4 C.. Amb. temp. at ground level was 28.9 C. Average panel temp. was about 53.6 C. Wind velocity @ the array was 3.2 m/sec. Array tilt: 18.75 deg. Array azimuth: 195.75 deg.

Yours: 220/285 = 0.772

Mine : 3,985/5,232 = 0.762

Guess I missed something. What does a Solar grid tie system have to do with an electric vehicle???

I know , I know , they both use electricity ????
