If you are using the ammeter on a Charge Controller, the 4A figure you see may reflect just how much current the batteries can currently take, not how much the panels can deliver.
If you use a simple ammeter connected to the panel output (almost shorting them) then you will see the Imax current, and you can assume that the Impp will scale the same way.
Parallel panel amperage problems?

I hope that's able to show you accurately what I'm dealing with.
Thank you for your help!

As you can see I'm not getting a combined amperage when connected in the first photo. The other two are the individual panel readings.Leave a comment:

Describe your method for parallel wiring the panels together and the voltage and amperage readings when wired together.Leave a comment:

Parallel panel amperage problems?
Hello,
Im new to this forum as is my history of solar panel systems. I have two Panasonic 330w panels wired in parallel with Renogy MC4 parallel connectors. in the evening light i was receiving 62V and about 4.00 amps per panel. However, when i connect them in parallel I'm not getting the increased amperage. its still reading as if i were taking a reading from one single panel. I've contacted Renogy tech support and they mentioned that because it was open circuit it may not read combined amperage. im not entirely sure if that statement is correct. If you could assist in steering me in the right direction id be very grateful!
Thank you for any help you may provide.
