I recently have solar installed in San Diego (4.8W DC (16 - 300W panels), 4.26W AC) and received PTO on November 1st, 2017.
I have a few questions to experts on expected power generation in San Diego area.
1) For the first 21 days of the month, I generated around 306kWhr (5 of my panels are facing south, 11 facing west, tricky roof). I will probably have around 400-450k kWhr generated by the end of the month. Do you think this is a reasonable amount for November for a system of this size? I have built in inverters and can see west facing produced around %25 less than the south facing panels.
2) I was expecting on average 5kWhr per 1W DC for the whole year in sunny San Diego. Is this a realistics expectation considering longer summer days? Do you have any generation data you can share over the course of a year in table format on a monthly basis? I am trying to figure out the delta between summer and winter months.
Thanks!
