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...

this weeks cooler weather has been good for me and the solar panels
until today we have had morning overcast and broken clouds
this situation set up low charge rates in the morning, followed by high charge rates in the afternoon, giving me an idea of how the addition of the new panels is working out
daily avg's are UP approx 30%
Peaks had not got as high as i thought it might
until yesterday when i saw sustained amps in the mid 20's and a recorded high of 31.15 peak amps , 426.3 Peak watts and a totals of 119.14 Amphrs 1624.5 wattHrs
today was even better totals
155.73 ampHrs 2143.5 wattHrs
and i was NOT testing the system, i did not turn on the big box fan or run heavy test loads
system wattage is calculated at 679 max watts Not the 704w i posted before, did a math mistake (brain fart) earlier
with a theoretical max of 39.94amps at 17v from panels
