Hi All,
I have a very weird problem with my new setup:
-SmartSolar MPPT 100/50
-2 x 200w Renogy Flexible panels
-9m cable [designated as 6mm2, but I believe it to be 4.58mm2 wire 10AWG].
-2 x Lithium 100AH batteries
…where, if I have either panel attached by themselves - I get very similar readings per panel (as to be expected) - but If I attach them together in a series; the collection wattage is near on identical to that of just a single panel?
First Panel | Both Panels - |
Second Panel - | Both Panels - |
Note: I tested it many times in consistent light where it only varied by a watt or two after swapping from SINGLE panel, to DUAL panel (as can be seen above).
This obviously makes no sense to me, so I'm hoping the community has an idea why I'm generating the same power from 2 panels as I do 1? Is there some settings in the MPPT I need to address, as I'm really confused?
Thanks in advance, cheers Peter
