Hello everyone.
I'm somewhat new to solar but I simply cannot figure out why my small system is not performing. I have a Yeti400 and a 100 watt panel I planned to use on my boat for small electronics.
-100 Watt panel in direct sunlight for 4 hours
-Showing 18.9 volts (did not test amps)
-Yeti shows only 28-32 watts incoming
-Battery is not full, showing 12.2 volts (60% charged)
-When I plug in my AC adapter to charge the Yeti, it jumps to 68-70 watts for input
Could it be the charge controller/yeti itself? Thoughts? I'll test the amperage this weekend but I'm at a loss of where to start. I appreciate any help. Thanks!
