MPPT 150/70 - RUNNING 6 X 320W PANELS (2 SERIES STRINGS)

Hi - I'm running the 150/70 with 6 panels (320W). Two strings of 3 panels - connected in a combined bow before plugging into the MPPT. I'm only getting 110V and 0.3 AMPS ? Also only getting up to 40W off the solar array. Anyone have a suggestion ?

@John@Belle

How have you programmed the mppt? voltages battery type etc.

The batteries are only taking 1A in. The other possibility is they don't need a charge?

The little red exclamation on the cog at the top right means skmething needs attention there. Possibly an update. It may be best to run that as a troubleshooting step

HI,

Im running the same setup, Depending on how you have configure your Inverter , you wont see the full power eg: If you set to use solar to change batteries and power loads then send surplus power to the grid you will the solar run at its maximum .
