where did my power go?
Well, I finally got my four panels up and wired. See my solar shed post for details.
But where did my power go? When I turn on the fuse to check each panel set the TriStar shows 9.9 amps at 115 watts (pretty sunny day). I then checked the next panel set. Same reading. Then the TriStar starts charging. 15v at 2.2+- amps. Reading 38 watts (actual number fluctuates). Where did my power go? What have I done wrong? HELP! |

Okay, figured it out. The batteries were fully charged and the charge controller was feeding them a trickle maintenance charge. How do I delete this post?
