Four panels installed, the Powerwall and car charger unit both up and running.
The other panels are going up on the main roof tomorrow.

So, I seem to have produced over 5KWh of power today... And that's with this morning being dingey and the scaffolding still being up causing some shading of the panels.
The negative values are the battery charge rate.

The scaffolding has gone so I can take reasonable pictures on the solar install.

Looks good to me Stephen, Its something similar I'd be looking for as we have an east/west facing roof just don't have the shed space for the other four :)
Although I do need to buy a car before I think about solar panels. Long story short, I'm still getting paid at work but no company car any more.

I'm not getting paid any more... but then again I'm not working either.
Oh, and the new electric car arrives in a couple of weeks or less... I can then sign up for a new power tariff for cheaper overnight electricity.
