Hi Forum,
I'm sure I'm missing something here but I have an Epever Tracer 4210AN charge controller hooked up to a 12v SLA leisure battery with 105Ah, and the Eurener 340W Datasheet PV panel: https://midsummerwholesale.co.uk/pdfs/Eurener 340 - Datasheet
Datasheet Epever: https://www.epever.com/product/tracer-an-10-40a-mppt-charge-controller/
Everything is working fine but I would have expected much more from the panel to charge the battery more quickly. The panel only seems to generate 120 watts in a sunny day. I'm taking the RS485 feed to Home Assistant which reports the panel is reaching 40v but only about 30 watts.
Would the charge controller be limiting/controlling the panel output? Is there something I can do to improve this please?
Thanks.
