I've run my system for a remote summer cabin for a year now and I've been extremely happy with the performance. Special thanks to forum members here for helping me design it right. I've got all the power we need, rarely dipping below 25v in the batteries (and never below about 24.5v), even when the full family is up and the teenagers are leaving the dang'd fridge open.
The only thing I don't understand is the amps coming from the panels as displayed in the Victron Connect app. Generally it's saying I'm collecting 110v+ at 1 Amp or less even when there's full mid day sun on the panels. This seems to be significantly lower than it should be. Angle of the panels is set to optimal for July/August.
Am I missing something in my understanding of the Victron readouts, or is there a potential problem somewhere?
To help I've attached a schematic of my system. There is 100' AGW6 between the array and the controller.
Thanks,
Steve
