Update, I swapped the micro inverter with same results but today I just had 517w and about 1.8A. Sky conditions look the same to me as before. I think these panels are just very sensitive. I will probably look at upgrading to 2 brand new 425w panels to get max output that I can...

I connected both panels via splitters and connected to 1 set of inputs on the inverter with no change in readings. As you say its a low end reading, I expected low as its winter but not this low. I will try get hold of another inverter and see what happens.

Here is the panel label, on both panels I get 35.4v open circuit , it's cloudy so not sure if I should be getting the full 38.23v ? I tried series connection but the inverter won't accept it. The inverter specs are below as well. Ideas?

Will get a pic of the product label tomorrow morning . In going to borrow another inverter as well and see what happens . Will update all tomorrow

Hello, Thanks for the reply. I meant Momentary output, max I saw was 1 amp and 220w. Most output I had in a day was 0.9kwh total on a near cloudless day measured via the app. The app is called smart life. I know it's a tiny system but I expected to see a bit more output. The...

Hello all, i recently picked up 2 x ja solar 265w panels and a 800w micro grid tie inverter . the panels are i assume connected in parallel given the way it connects to the grid tie inverter. I appreciate its winter sun, the sun is low etc - (im in central europe) but i noticed i would...

Which VW is it ??

Thi Stuart, there is a confusion somewhere :). I see I wasn't too clear in some of my replies. I have 2 options. Option 1 bank of batteries for the lights exclusively. Option 2. If Option 1 is not realistic/ too expensive then I will probably connect the used panels to the house...

Wood pigeons stay in the trees, the other pigeons will get in everywhere they can. They also use the spikes to anchor the nest ! Shoot them.

Hi Stuart, many thanks for info and input. I can cut the bulbs by half and reduce the hours if needed.. quick thought is a 280ah battery would work.. Need to calculate that though. For the power socket it's fairly common here, loads of kits which are plug n play. I found an advert that...

Is your car start stop? If yes it will prob have a smart alternator and regenerative breaking so the battery is prob only 80% charged - this is quite normal especially with VW.

Thank you for the reply, I had to search what grp 27 and 31 was :) For the LED its a normal light string but using LED screw in bulbs, same as LED replacements for standard Philips bulbs . I can see if it lights up from a 12v supply but I'm doubting it will. I also have a normal...

Hello all, Newbie after some basic advice...... long story to explain it all- sorry. I'm located in central Europe and had an idea to buy some used solar panels and a battery to power a string of LED lights to light up the garden. I have the lights its a 30m string of 4w LED bulbs...
