Ran genset, now seeing 19+ volts from solar
My MH has been sitting in the driveway for several weeks with the solar panels keeping it charged. NO shore power. Today I went in to run the genset. The voltage meter read 13.6v before I did anyt...

I think you're jumping the gun on the controller being the cause of 19.6V reading. I understand the diagram but where is the voltage meter connected in all of this? Is it the device that has the solar, the charger, and the genset all on post 'A"?
My first WAG is that the genset is back feeding the circuit and sending DC to the meter. The battery fuse will only open with more than 100 amps of current, not due to high voltage. Some controllers don't do well when they are disconnected from the battery and not the modules. That's why connecting solar charging directly to the battery is a good idea.
My other WAG is that something drew over 100 A of current from the battery.
