Solar Kit
Just received my kit. 2 100w panels with a 30a pwm controller. Hoping it will recharge my 2 GC2's. I am alone in the trailer and power use is min. Any thoughts?

The controller only does 14.4
Measure it on a warm day, my $8 version claimed 14.6 but does 14.8 unless it's cold and maxes out at 15.0.
Show us a picture of your charge controller model, and a measure of voltage at the battery terminals some time. Those are good numbers.
The sun finaly came out! Info from someones weather station locally.
Charging vehicle battery w/60 watt panel, 50F
Move probe from controller Vout to batt
So you are getting 14.9V at the battery on a 60w panel, at 3.1 amps? Wow, battery must be low... usually by the time I am close to 14.9V at the battery, the 8.8 Amps my 150w solar panel can put out is close to 2.5 to 3A of current and has tapered back on the amps quite a bit.
