We just set up your Renogy solar system for our RV. It consists of four Renogy 100W 12V Monocrystalline Solar Panels, wired (10AWG) in parallel to a Renogy Wanderer Li 30A 12V PWM NG Charge Controller, then on to our twin 100Ah BB 12V Lithium batteries (in parallel).
We are in Arizona (White Mountains) at almost 10,000 feet with measurements taken under clear skies*, and all of the solar panels are facing due South, angled upward toward the noon-day sun. Here are the pitiful current (Ampere) levels we are obtaining from each of these panels:
Panel #1: 0.49A
Panel #2: 1.38A
Panel #3: 0.39A
Panel #4: 0.46A
The total output current from the charge controller to the RV is only 2.70A.
For the conditions as described above, this is abysmally low, even Panel #2.
Oddly, when a cloud moderately covers the Sun, the current level dips very little.
The Renogy controller has been set to Lithium.
Any suggestions, because the solar system as-is is pretty useless...?
Thank you,
-Cotter
*Clear skies for a few minutes in between a month of thunder, lightning, rain, hail, etc.
