Our 18 month old solar installation tells me that we have had 10% less sun this year than last. Last June was obviously well below average so really hoping we see some proper sunlight from now on to fill these crops and admittedly the forecast is looking better. Are my panels filthy / faulty or are others seeing the same?!

If you have more than 1 inverter or multiple arrays try cleaning one set of panels you may be surprised how dirty they are. I have 3 inverters on each set up and get a pleasant surprise after they have been cleaned, We are now cleaning ours a bit more often. 6 monthly.
