Hey guys,
I purchased and installed 3 100W Renogy panel system on my van.
Connected the batteries to the charge controller.
Then connected the panels in parallel to the charge controller.
Everything seemed to be working fine and my batteries were getting charged.
It was working fine for about a week, but over the last 3-4 days I have noticed on the Renogy app that there are no amps flowing to my batteries.
I cannot figure out why.
I have gone over my system with an electrical engineer and he could not figure it out either.
Attached is the diagram of my setup.
The only thing we could come up with was that the controller might have failed.
However, upon inspection of the CC, the 3 30a mini fuses inside seem to be OK.
Would having the van's alternator charging the batteries at the same time as the solar is charging the batteries be a problem?
Would having a DC charger charging the batteries at the same time as the solar is charging the batteries be a problem?
I'm stumped.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Ian
