I would say my generation has dropped off by closer to 10% this week
Here's my experience.
- Two months ago, on the 25th of April when it was sunny but relatively cool, my panels made 17.8kWh (6.5 kWh/kWp)
- One month ago, on the 25th of May during the first heatwave when we saw about 30C, that made 15.9kWh (5.8 kWh/kWp)
- Yesterday, where we saw 34C, they made 14.7kWh (5.4 kWh/kWp).
That's a reduction of 18% in June vs. April, despite the June days being somewhat longer.
Peak generation was 2.3, 2.1 and 1.9kW respectively. The generation curves for all three days I've quoted look "perfect", smooth with no dropouts.
