Is this how much i am really supposed to get from a 5kw system?

So i have a 5kw grid tie system located in Quezon City, Philippines, the panels are facing west and tilted following the slope of the roof. but i dont know if i did some installation wrong that is causing me to only get this production. i just installed it the whole system myself last Feb 8,2017. Is this production just typical?
Lowest Production:
Feb 17,2017 - 6.5kwh
Feb 18,2017 - 6.8kwh
Previous Days Production:
Mar 6,2017 - 19.7kwh
Mar 7,2017 - 18.8kwh
Mar 8,2017 - 11.3kwh
Mar 9,2017 - 16.5kwh
Highest Production so far:
Feb 15,2017 - 20.9kwh
Typical Production:
10-15kwh/day
Solar System:
Solar Panels: 20-260w trina solar panels - http://static.trinasolar.com/sites/default/files/PS-M-0323%20E%20Datasheet_Allmax_US_Feb_2017_A.pdf
Inverter: Growatt 5000UE - http://www.growatt.com/html/2014/01/10/2014011010480983423919.html
I used 4mm2 pv cable that run a length of approx 25m.
Should i also use a thicker pv cable? and is the Current from the panels a little high for the inverter?

I would hope to get at least 1kwh per day from each 260w panel.
Since they follow the roof slope and face west they may not be at the ideal angle.Solar hybrid gasoline generator, 7kw gas, 180 watts of solar, Morningstar 15 amp MPPT, group 31 AGM, 900 watt kisae inverter.
Solar roof top GMC suburban, a normal 3/4 ton suburban with 180 watts of panels on the roof and 10 amp genasun MPPT, 2000w samlex pure sine wave inverter, 12v gast and ARB air compressors.
