OK Please take this comment with respect and meant to help. Yes it is a nice clean install, but...
Your install pictures show a major and unfortunately all to common install problem. Both panels have shadows - one from the vent cover and the second from the antenna. Shadows kill panel output.
Move the left panel to the far left and/or remove the vent cover and close the vent when you might have a shadow from it. Move the right panel to the far right and as forward as possible or move the antenna and close the vent.
And the panels could be raised to help avoid shadows.
