    Thanks for all your advice. I switched to a victron 100/50 and smart shunt. It seems much better.

    Need help with hqst 40 amp controller

    On solar. Just now. Panels input 22.5 volts at 10 amps. Easy math. Output was 14.2 at 3 amps. The shunt is showing .6 amp loss. I flipped the breaker for the ac converter. 20 amps. I need to figure out a way to drain my 30 amp boat battery.

    Yes on the fuse. I have two meters. The one I am using is no fuse. Because I blew the other. It does scale out though. Right now. 22v at 4amp input 14.2v at 1.4 amp output. 22x4 is 88. 14.2x 1.4 is 19.88. Roughly 23% now and 28% mid afternoon.

    IDK. My multimeter says the panels are producing 14 amps at 22 volts. Not all day, but mid afternoon in Corpus Christi Texas. That is me actually putting the leads on the ter inals. 14 x 22 is 308 watts. It's my understanding that the purpose of the controller is to take that 300ish...
