Hit 10,000 free kWh from my solar array and I'm actually suspicious

My home setup in Phoenix passed 10,000 kWh delivered back to the grid last Tuesday, and I keep second guessing the meter. I mean, I did the math on my 6.2kW panels and it lines up over 14 months, but that number still feels too clean. Everyone in my local EV group brags about charging at work or hunting deals, but my roof has quietly covered every mile on my Bolt since March. Is it normal for a residential array to overproduce like this, or should I have an electrician double check my inverter readings?

That number still feels too clean" hits home because I used to roll my eyes at solar folks posting big numbers, figured they were cherry picking or their utility was messing up the credits. Then my neighbor in Mesa showed me his monthly statements and the guy has a smaller array than yours clearing 700 to 800 kWh back to the grid in summer. Phoenix is just built for this, all that sun and barely any clouds. Your 10k over 14 months on 6.2kW works out to about 115 kWh per month average, which is honestly right in line for our area. If the inverter and the utility bill agree, trust it.
