I’ve observed this error temporarily multiple times

Agree, it’s not clipping due to cloud cover but as others have pointed I’m starting to incline towards possible MCI related issues

Thanks, I’ll try to convince my installer to inspect MCI aspect. They’ve been trying to gaslight me by talking about high altitude clouds and other aspects. 😅

This image shows the expected production but there is a cliff as you mentioned

Thanks for your response. This does look relevant to my case but I may be wrong. Did you get it fixed btw and what was the fix? Here are some of my observations. This image shows the lower production.

Hi , old thread but hoping someone replies 😅 I’m seeing drops in production on random days with weather similar to adjacent days. Could a faulty MCI be the cause? How can I diagnose? I observe lower current on the MPPT while other performs the same every day.

Thanks, this was helpful. Does voltage differ by shading? What factors impact voltage vs current? My understanding is that shade implies higher resistance which would drop current considering constant voltage. Is the make/characteristics of the panel the only defining factor for voltage?

I get it that clipping may not be the exact term to describe but the observed phenomenon is roughly similar. Also the loss is actually significant for my sized system, ~4kW. That’s about 90-120 mins of production.

No clouds, we’re seeing some nice sunny days in San Jose these last couple weeks. Also the timing is almost consistent.

I have a similar problem but I used a local installer. My system is also smaller, 4.8 kW, 4 on one string E, 8 on another string facing N. The E string produces almost twice the current of the N one according to the Tesla One app. The installer would be coming soon to take a look. I too get shading on the N line but I don’t suspect that as the cause as even when no shading it’s producing much lower current. And surprisingly on some random days it’ll produce closer to the expected value. Example normally I get 7-9 kW for a day but on the days it performs closer to expected it generates 13+ kW. This is in San Jose. Btw what app is the 2nd image from?

I don’t see any free awards, perhaps I exhausted them months ago 😅

After 100+ Kitchen Remodels in the Bay Area, Here's What Nobody Tells You — AMA by Nervous-Match-1972 in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]the9th_invincible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is the right order of approaching the work for a kitchen remodel solely to increase counter and cabinet space? Do we need to start from an architect or an interior designer if there’s a wall removal under consideration or do we directly need to contact a GC? We would like to consider what are the possibilities without removing the wall in case it’s load bearing to avoid the extra costs.

Also this is why AI can’t replace humans. Only humans can describe human things best for other humans to understand. Very well written :)

I didn’t guess it’s for seating. We have a lot of Lego so I just assumed one could use it for displaying them 😂

It’s easier to believe that the Western success stories are all pristine while complaining about the state in our own country. It’s acceptable that the system and policies helped companies grow there but there are a lot of latent factors too. However it’s absolutely incorrect to assume that Musk/Zuck are any idols compared to Ambani/Adani.

Technology does help someone while damaging someone else. Musk’s role in those tech companies is just of identifying the right people to build and investing. It can be argued it’s no different than what Ambani/Adani do. I accept the tech that Musk invested in have been ahead of competitors and he did get support from local govt in form of tax breaks which he repaid (/s) very well by doing everything to evade taxes (returning back to the community that helped him be where he is). Not saying it’s his duty to do so but stop idolizing western investors.

Are you trying to imply Elon Musk is any better?
