[QUOTE="dipesh, post: 547570, member: 36894"] Hi guys, I just installed my first pv system at home after doing the pv and battery course and have seem to encountered a problem! I've installed 6 Canadian solar 550w panels south facing and it's not producing consistently. When the sun is directly over the panels it would produce close to peak but soon as the sun is on the east or west with clear skies and sun hitting the panels it would only produce between 0.5 to 1kw in total. Surely the panels should be producing more than 15% with clear sky and full sun even though the sun is not directly over it. Today midday the panels were producing 2.5kw and have suddenly dropped to 0.6kw for the past 2 hours which doesn't make sense. What tests can I do to diagnose the issue? [/QUOTE]
