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...

"Now, when the 100A fuse blew and the controller went to 19.6v, that voltage was being sent everywhere else."
I don't understand how 19.6v could be distributed throughout, without damaging anything?
It appears the "solar circuit" is limited to the panels, controller, and batteries. The 100a fuse blowing opened this circuit, thus stopping all power flow from the panels.
There appears to be no negative pathway to create another circuit thru the 12v distribution panel. This would be achieved by connecting to the "load" output terminals of the controller, correct?
