John,Uzing the link you provided, I pout some numbers in to see the effect of tilt and tine of year .wow, what a difference. I've been thinking my panels are poopibng out but not according to the chart.
Having panels flat at my latitude shows an output range of 4.5. with a 30% fixed tilt is about 2.5 difference. Did not try to find the optimal tilt, just picked 30 for ball park
