I just checked, and my 6.6 kW system gets around 210 kWh per month for December and January. This January must have been particularly sunny since I got 277.

The solar is the turd on the cake. What could have been the price without it? We'll never know because those geniuses decided to offer 2 flavors; solar, and more solar. They should also offer 2 colors; red, and more red.
