Solar Panels Not Generating Enough to Charge Battery and Load
My Setup : 12 x 660 watts Canadian Solar Panels
8kw Inverter
10Kwh Battery
The issue that im experiencing is that it seems the max amount PV im getting on a sunny day currently 19 April is +-2.5kw but only for a period of 3 hours or so. During the Summer months it was more but like 3.5kw. But seperate from that today at midday I saw that the load was 1000watts but on a clear sunny day the solar was only bringing in 579 watts. How can this be? It seems like not all my solar panels are connected - or something else is going on. I do know that non-essential applicances such as my geyser is also connected and not sure if thats then being used but not reflected on the app itself. Please see below:
Any advise would be appreciated.

im less concerned about the amount of solar then i am about my battery only charging with 68+- watts. It seems there is 2.5kw availabe but its only using a small amount to charge due to it thinking that my output is my input? if that makes sense
