    I do not seem to be going over 3.2k for my 3.99KWp SW facing system. Does that sound correct for a SW facing system of this size? Thanks

    Hi and welcome to the thread. Do you have any shading issues? I'm sure some of the more techy guys on here will be along shorty to help you out with your question.

    Welcome to the forum ... :)

    Recording 3.2kW over a 5/10 minute period would probably be typical with the amount of moisture in the sky recently and is certainly in line with what we've been seeing so it's not likely to be something to worry about ...
