Do my solar panels produce 'enough'?

I installed solar panels last year, and ever since the beginning, I have a feeling they're not producing as much 'as they should'. But I had no way to compare, to prove my point. If I get 10kWh of production for a certain day, is that good or not?

So I started going through the web interface of my remote monitoring (comes standard with each installation). I noticed there is a kind of 'kiosk URL' with a unique code in it, that shows you a 1 page overview of your installation's daily, montly and yearly solar production. If I could have several of those URLs for other people's installations too, then I could start comparing! I found someone with the same solar panel provider and got a second kiosk URL.

I started with a (PHP) component that can take one of those Kiosk URLs and extract the data, and that worked fine. This was step 1

    Typically, your meter will cycle through different screens. You should pay particular attention to the one that displays the total kilowatt-hours that your solar panels are generating. As long as your kilowatt-hours are increasing, your RV solar panels (https://www.bougerv.com/collections/solar-panels) should be working fine.

    If you can't decide which solar panel you need to install, this is the place to go. This is the site that provides expert advice along with helpful solar panel reviews and other resources to help you choose the most appropriate products. By the way, I was very interested in Nova Solar reviews and this is where I found the answers to all my questions.
