These 13 panels are configured as one string into my inverter's three inputs. Total of 39 active panels on the roof. So the sun rises to the north east and causes the cupula to cast a shadow on that right most set of panels. You can see in the yellow production line when that shadow has cleared the panels.
Here we see a ground mount 6kw inverter connected to 20 panels (blue) and two 3kw MPPT dc chargers conencted to 10 panels each (teal and purple).
if you add up the two 3kw power it is 4452w and the 6kw inverter is making 4336w. So close.... all of these devices are fed from the same 370w panels at a 40degree tilt. Just confirmation that every panel in my ground mount is working the same as all the others.

One of the goals of my system was to match the house's needs all year. Most homes draw more power in the winter or summer, so you'd want to bias production for those times by designing the mounts for the tilt that gives you power when you need it. For my house, our power usage is nearly the same each month so I wanted a system that made the same amount of power each month. As it stands I make about 3000kWh a month.
This is my production for the past 14 months. I modeled the production using the PVWatts website and found that tilting the panels 10degrees steeper than textbook gave me consistent power each month.
If I had tilted the panels "by the book" I would make 20% more power in 365 days, but at the cost of mot making anything in the winter.
So when you design a system you need to know your month to month usage, if you will export power or if your goal is to run the house from batteries. This will determine your array's tilt angle.
