Voltage drop from solar controller
or: Here we Go Again. Still trying to get my 420 Watts of solar to fully charge my 484 AH of battery. (Currently in southern Mexico.) Layout: 2 80 Watt panels and 2 130 Watt panels in paralle...

Microwave on inverter is a BIG power hog
try to keep the MW use on shore power
it might be more efficient operating mode to allow the converter on 24/7
and turn it off ONLY if you need too when using A/C or MW,
IF batteries are at full, then converter power use will be greatly reduced and not impact your 120v use
maintaining power being used, is a lot more efficient than replacing huge amounts of power
let the batteries carry you during power outages, not full time
as far as series panels
my 2000e is not rated for the PEAK voltage that (2) 130w panels would produce
all my panels are parallel for that reason
