I’ve only had a 4.1 kw (10 panels) grid tied system running since August. I had very comparable results in power generated vs PVWatts in August but have been running significantly lower since early September. Some of the deterioration into the fall is a clipping due to the sun not rising as high and shading from trees. However, I think a good portion is due to more cloudy days than what PVWatts is predicting.
Is there any data available that would give me a perspective of actual solar generated in the fall days and months this year vs prior years in the Houston area with a south facing roof mount system? Seems like there would be site where users can share their system design and actual solar generation.
