I'm working with an MPP1012 all in one controller with 4 200W panels
Each panel individually tests about the same from a watts perspective on the system (130W at time of testing)
When I hook two panels in series, I get the increase in Watts as expected (230W at testing)
However when I add additional panels, the Watts seem to stay the same (Amps and Volts go up as expected )
With 4 panels (at testing time) I'm showing 80v, 8A and 280W
I expected the watts to me more, but understand the loss's involved.
How much should I expect??? I'm only running abut 50' of wire from panel to controller
