Can't find it. You showed a photo of your MH with the panels tilted up, but one was behind another at one end. (not the other photo you showed of it in a parking lot with the back panel shaded) Also a photo of your then new controller display doing its stuff.

Meanwhile you had a poly being shaded by a panel in front, so I suggested you put that back poly up front instead of the mono and try it with just five polys all up front.
