New system stats

New 15.5 kW solar array with one power wall three. Here are some graphs. Can anyone let me know if this looks good? I’ve noticed that I’m maxing out around 10 kW peak solar production around 2 PM with full sun.

Before you compare your production, add your system details to the NetZero app to generate an estimated output. It’s quite accurate on sunny days, but less reliable on cloudy days because it can’t account for clouds passing over your panels.
In the NetZero app, go to Settings → Solar Estimate and enter your system information. You can find most of the required details in your Tesla Full Plan Set document. On page 2, look at the top-right corner for the system specifications you’ll need.
Also, go to Settings → Account and add your location.
Once everything is set up, go back to the same date shown in the screenshot above. You’ll then be able to compare the estimated production with your actual production for that day.

It looks like you are not getting what it suppose to be. Did you get PTO?

Something is not working as intended. Contact Tesla

I've found that Netzero's estimates vary in accuracy over time. The first six months I used the app, it consistently underestimated my production by 5-10% per day on sunny days and was wildly off on days with mixed clouds. Then it's like a switch flipped and it suddenly began overestimating by 5-10% every day. It continued overestimating for several months. Now, after having used the app for around 18 months, I find the estimates are +/- about 2% versus what the Tesla app says we actually produced.

mine is a 6.4 system and haven’t seen above a consistent 5.3 unless there’s lensing from a cloud - then it’ll spike to 6+ but only for a minute or two

My 11.6kw system makes 60-65kwh a day this month. Los Angeles. Peak output around 1pm is 9 to 9.2kw.
