Well, what they quoted me appears to be an impossible figure - i.e., my system could NEVER produce 4.81 kWh because the inverters can never support above 3.9. I'm also hearing that it is likely that the difference is rarely going to matter, and that it would have cost more to get higher...

This is exactly right. With that being said, I hear pvgirl's point - that apparently it wouldn't make that much of a difference? This surprises me somewhat, as I'm hitting 3.9 kWh every day, so I'd think it would be able to go higher on some days than others. But I also don't know what the hell...

So I must have missed all of these responses - my bad! So to clarify - as noted, it's maxed at the 3.9 kWh, regardless of weather, day, etc. Panels are perfectly south facing, good tilt, etc. My confusion is that I was repeatedly told it was a 4.81 kWh system, and no mention was ever made of...

To respond to your points, the panels are fixed (roof is approximately 45 degrees) and black. Cloudy day today and max was about 1kw. Thanks for your thoughts!

Good afternoon! So I recently had solar installed on my roof, but my performance thus far has been below advertised. My specs are below (please let me know if I should post something else). Also realize this is a DIY forum, so if I should go find somewhere else on the internet, fair enough...
