More Solar for "Us"
Ok, I went off.the deep end? Bought 3 used 37watt uni-solar panels and a blue sky 2000e controller for the hefty price of $400, They were being listed as 75w panels, they are not The tested open...

Beautiful clear sky today, but totals slightly less than yesterday, I'm.contributing this to several factors
#1 started the day with a higher SOC ( according to volt meter )
#2 I did some maintenance on the generator before lunch, then ran it slightly longer during lunch
#3 The 2000e did indeed need adjustment, it was limiting charge voltage to 13.6v,
at 1:30pm charge current was less than 4amps
I adjusted charge voltage to 14.6 and charge voltage went up to 10amps
#4 at 2:pm I had to move the MH and take care of errands, when I got parked again at 4:30 pm it was charging at 4 amps
todays.numbers
976.7 watt hrs total
13.86 peak amps ( 0.48a less than yesterday )
70.29 amphrs total
Wednesday is supposed to be clear
I'm hoping for increased performance from the "adjusted" 2000e
the previous adjustment was crippling/limiting it's output
