About your low numbers for June, which is the max instantaneous you could notice between 11 and 15 ?

Your output from the panels may be greater than the maximal input of your inverter. The inverter can then limit the input to the allowable max, or simply put itself in security and produce no output until the input is acceptable.

The efficiency of the inverter isn't a constant and isn't maximal at maximum input.
