I'm new to solar and I'm wondering if this is an issue or it is how it's supposed to be.
I have a 12 setup. I discharged my battries and they are now down to 11.8v when I use a multimeter to check the voltage on the charge controller where the panel is connected I'm still seeing 11.8v so both battries and panel is showing 11.8v but when I disconnect the panel and check the voltage from the wires I'm getting 30+ volts. It's a 24v panel by the way.
My question is shouldn't the voltage from the panel side be higher than the battery voltage?
