Screenshot questions

I assume that the Solar numbers are the output from the panel & the Battery numbers are the output from the 75/15 MMPT controller.

why is the current / amps higher than panel output?

My BMV 700 shows the actual amp input somewhere in the middle of these 2 numbers.

Power into the mppt pretty much equals power out, minus some small losses.

Power = Volts x Amps.

22.51v x 4.7a (105w) into the mppt would equal about 14.58v x 7.1a (103.5w) out to the battery.

So the regulator reduces the Volts which then increases the Amps.

The Battery numbers are what is actually going to the battery?

Current into the battery excludes any loads running.
