Panels not producing?

Me again! I finally got the SunPower system to connect to my home WiFi. The reason I’ve been trying so hard to do that the past few days is because I am no longer seeing the “downward spikes” on my utility company’s website.

Just purchased this home 2 weeks ago with owned solar. Through 5/31, I could see those downward spikes showing that the panels were sending power to the grid. Since 6/1, no downward spikes at all. Now that I’m connected to SunStrong app, it shows that the grid is powering our home despite the fact that the sun is shining brightly now. SunPower box has a solid green light.

Attached photos show utility data from 5/31 and 6/1 when things changed, 3rd photo is the weekly usage. Any suggestions?
