So true. A reliable and ethical local installer, especially with in-depth roofing experience is so valuable
I so wish I’d had someone other than local SunPower install team handle my system. Turned out to be a very poor experience with them not following their own process, or their design permit to my detriment, and then making false claims about it. Ugh.. fortunately I properly protected myself

Good overview
PVS6 so much more reliable when Ethernet connected (needs USB adapter as of approx Dec ‘22 h/w revision). Running an Ethernet cable is sometimes a hassle, other time really easy (as mine was), and much more secure. Really PVS6 should be indoors for security reasons as well (typically in garage, other side of wall from solar sub-panel ymmv)
Beware installers not accurately recording panel serial number to actual roof placement, which can be relevant if shade (chimney, tree, etc) applies. I had this happen with SunPower employee installers, and took them 10 months to fix their mistake…

But you're numbers are off a bit
When you connect the panels to the grid or battery you can only get and use less than 20% of rated output
It's called ohm's law
Electricity is like water you must overcome the incoming voltage or pressure if you will
Average line voltage is 240 and thanks to Enron maximum line voltage is 274 you only have 34 volts to push the electrons in the grid or battery amps
Volt multiply by amps equals Watts.
Check it out yourself be careful of course with avomwith amp clamp at the meter or output of inverter or battery
Measure the volts and amps multiply the results and you will see the actual what's going in which will be less than 20%

I lease a Sunpower system that I pay $3k a year to save $1 k a year, foolish me for believing a Sunpower salesman
