I based my comment on both of the volt meters reading nearly the same. That's why I suggested loading the alternator. My 24 volt PV charged bank reads 28 volts because that's where the charge controller shuts it off. The 12 volt PV charged bank in the other building charges to 13.68 volts. I'm just guessing here that his controller is set low, although maybe the battery charger in his inverter is low and the battery never has had a full charge.

It's always difficult to troubleshoot remotely, the variables are always out of reach/sight.
