Better than Jan and last Feb. 762 on 5.9kw system of Qcell/Enphase so far, should end up in the 850-75 range by month end. Many 0 to negative electrical cost days. Liking Feb 2024.
 
That's pretty strong production. 129kwh/kw.What angle are your panels?
 
For a glimpse at solar harvesting in Deep East Texas this image updates every 5 minutes, give or take a few seconds, when the program is running. Which is most of the time if I am not working on that computer.
 
I just looked and I think you are closer. No way it's near 45%. Perhaps I was biased by nearly doing a header off it last summer. Seemed steeper then. Slippery when wet.

yeah, 45 degrees is a 12/12 pitch. very rare in texas.
my roof is 8.5/12 and ive never been on it. I wont climb onto anything over 6/12.
 
I have 30 degree south and 48 degree east/west panels in DFW.

Jan 2023 - 1,524 kWh
Feb 2023 - 1,506 kWh
Jan 2024 - 1,471 kWh
Feb 2024 - 1,642 kWh (2.5 days to go)

This is on a 19.4 kW system so only 84 kWh/kW.

If I only look at the:
east facing ones 75 kWh/kW
south facing ones 120 kWh/kW
west facing ones 56 kWh/kW
for Feb, 2024 so far.
 
My 11.2kw system has produced 1397 kWh this month. 184 degrees, 35.5 degrees roof angle.

124.7 kWh/kw

Dfw
