O.K, I've compared solar charging notes with converter charging notes, and it would appear the Tracer was in boost from about 5:30pm, and around the 96-97% soc range.
It's often much more difficult to decipher what's going on with solar, with it's continual ups and downs, at times. And I'm still figuring out which data to keep track of... although I generally write down everything I can think to, and toss out what's not important... which is usually very little. But, I do have a few missing pieces of the puzzle, here and there, so I need to be more organized in my solar logging. There is definitely a learning curve involved.
So, I have two issues, it seems... this issue of the monitor remaining in mppt, when the controller is not, and the 100% soc thing. I'm pretty sure I had boost time at 180 minutes, but I may have changed it? I'll check that first thing, next run. I'm wondering if boost time effects the controller's idea of when it has reached 100%? Surely something tells it when the bank is full? Time in boost? and/or x amps at y volts? and/or ???
