I have 15 285w panels wired 3 in series per string. I'm using an Epever 100 amp charge controller and it shows I'm only getting ~2.3kw?
I have the controller connected to a bank of 4 122ah lead acid batteries wired in series/parallel for 24v.
All connected strings are showing ~115 volts connected to the combiner so they all appear to be working.
The panels are just laying flat on the ground on cinder blocks which I know is inefficient but I should be getting (on paper) ~4.2kw out of 15 panels. Even with a 20% loss I should still get at LEAST 3.4kw?
Am I missing something or is that much of a loss just to be expected?
