Watts = amps x volts. cant have one without the other.
a 12 volt, 256 watt panel is capable of producing 21.3333 amps maximum.
12 volt, 460 watts will produce 38.3333 amps maximum.
So then what's your explanation as to how Tuna can get more amps in the shade and rain than I can with near close to 200 watts more in my panels combined?
I will let Tuna explain how he can get more amps from a grid than it is designed to produce.
US-64 specs are 16.5 volt. output
So using the total wattage of the grid (256 watts)we calculate amps= watts / volts.
256/16.5 = 15.5151 amps.
As you can see, as the voltage increases the output amps decrease.
