Why generation matters
Solar generation is one of the most important parts of rooftop solar because it helps explain whether the system can actually reduce your bill meaningfully.
Without that, homeowners are left only with vague promises instead of decision clarity.
What generation should be understood alongside
Expected generation only becomes useful when seen together with your electricity usage and bill.
That is because a strong generation number still has to be interpreted in the context of how your home actually consumes electricity.
