As its peak solar time in much of the US (having just past the summer solstice), how are peoples arrays holding up? This is the first real summer with mine deployed and trying to get a feel for how its performing.

Summer time temps are seeing my 5500w (panel rating) array hit (only) about 3500-3800w.
I know to expect a decrease in panel output as the temp of the panel goes up. Just trying to get a feel for what is normal.

What are other people seeing for results from their arrays right now given ambient temps of 85+ degF?
 
When I drove by yours the other day they were pretty dirty, a good washing might bring the wattage up. :)
