Take your total wattage and divide by 17.. 100 divided by 17 = 5.88 amps. Your readings.. 3.12 + 2.89 = 6.01 amps. I'd say that you're doing OK..

I use 17 as a divisor for real world calculations because nothing is perfect and the sum is more realistic.. (Including burn-in)

New panels are always hotter than normal. (higher in output) After being used for a while, the output will drop a little and stabilize..
