Solar panel production figures

A below average day yesterday, but also a milestone, we reached 1012 kWh for the month.

SolarEdge: 13.5 kWh
Garage: 11.72 kWh
North west roof: 7.49 kWh
House rear wall: 3.05 kWh
Peak power was 11.10 kW at 11:27

Total generated yesterday: 35.76 kWh
Total exported yesterday: 44.6 kWh
Total imported yesterday: 29.75 kWh
 
A blinding day today, nice to get back to those March day's we were all getting used to.

New daily generation record, 61.4 kWh.
I noticed your new WNW and SSW arrays were quite spiky on PVoutput after 2pm (can see it a bit on your charts too) but not the other two. Is it clipping?

Anyway, a pretty good day here too with 33.0 generated and 26.7 exported.

I'm not sure what caused it on the WNW roof array, its certainly not clipping, there's 5.16kWp of panels up there and the MPPT can handle around 4900w, so very unlikely to clip given orientation. There is a chimney which will shade one string, but I don't think that would happen at 2pm, but it could, I'll have to get the drone up at the weekend and have a look.

The other spikes is the way the Victron MPPT's adjust their power point, every 10 minutes they search for the maximum power point, sometimes it shows up, other times it doesn't.

Edit: The WNW array MPPT could potentially be getting too hot, it only got up to 2.7kW so unlikely but I will have to monitor it.
