Install new Rogue MPT-3048
I just posted my review of the new controller from Rogue on FB, and since all the design/support/ideas for my system came from here, I thought I would copy my high-level review. I do plan to post pic...

I guess the other thing that I don't understand is when the voltage sagged to 11.6 that only equates to an approximate wattage of 348 at 30 amps. Maybe Marc from Rogue can shed some light on this.
I must be the most stupid in this sandbox, because I don't understand not just this.
Without inverter the controller "sees" 465W at 30.4A. This is 15.3V. Is it possible to have over 15V on battery contacts?
As a side note, I have to say that 465W from 470W panel in Toronto at less than optimal tilt is impressive. Though this is at noon only, and averaged over daytime hours over entire summer it should be around 360W. In other words this 30A current - I think - occurs for such a short period that doesn't affect the total daily energy harvest.
