Watts displayed when battery is full MPPT 75?
Yes, you should expect low solar yield when the battery is full and there are no loads on the battery. This is because there is nowhere for the power to go anymore.
If you put a load on the battery and there is sunshine, then you will notice the power increase to satisfy the load.
Even when a lead acid battery is full it will still let a very small current flow through it, yesterday i had no demand on my bank and after being on float for 12 hours the battery monitor was showing a constant 0.4 Amp and 5 Watt going into the battery.
I'm seeing the same thing, when the battery is full, my reporting is inconsistent.
If younthink there's a problem, please start a new thread, giving battery details, charger screen shots and a clear description of what concerns you.
