I just thought I would show what a Great Day of Solar generation looks like.
We consumed 33.6 kW's (red) and produced 41.5 kW's (green)
The interesting point is we pay the extra to have a Time Of Use meter which charges different rates depending on Time of day. We over-generate power during the Peek Period Noon to 6pm which is prime time and we get credited @ $0.28/kW and the power we use off-peak only costs $0.09/kW. So for every kW we over-produce during peek period we get to use nearly 3 kW's during off peak times. For June that meant that we under-produced our usage by 200+ kW's (we used 200+ kW's of there off peek poser) but still got a $5 credit for the entire month.
We were at our Sonoma home celebrating the day with some friends around the pool so we didn't use much power all day at our Tiburon home but, you can see that we came home at 9pm after the local fireworks.
