    Low voltage output in full sun

    Thanks, I think sunshine_ego answered, and gave a pretty good technical explanation that fully answers what I was looking for. In my initial question, I stated I was testing max voltage output and did not have any load or batteries connected so the batteries in this example is not part of the...

    Low voltage output in full sun

    Thank you for the reply, I thought so that makes sense. My 3-stage RV battery charge has a bulk charge of 14.82, so the PWM outputting 14.5 is not too far off. Re: 4-stage controller question. I do not see any additional technical specs on what the voltage output is on any of the 4 stages of...

    Low voltage output in full sun

    Hello, I have a 100watt 18v / 5.56 amp hard sided portable solar panel and in full sun I only see a maximum of 14.3 - 14.5 volts. I can see upwards of 5.x amps when in good sunlight but no matter what I do I never see over 14.3'ish volts - without any load, I have tested using a volt meter via...

    AiLI battery monitor on solar does not show it's charging

    Hmm... so you are saying, I should take my negative and attach to the negative on the actual shunt? I had not considered that, and... since my shunt is attached to my A-Frame of the travel trailer I sealed it up inside a weatherproof box, so that would kind of stink. I would need to come up with...

    AiLI battery monitor on solar does not show it's charging

    Hi all! I have had the AiLi battery monitor installed on my RV now for going on 3 years and it's been amazing. Up to this point I have used it only with shore power, when we dry camp and use a generator everything works perfectly, the Volts, Amps, Ah and % has been dead on (based on my volt...
