I think it's an experiment in progress.:) Two days ago he mentioned to us that he was only getting 20 amps during good sun. I said that may be normal but you cant read ah down with your go power controller. I thought to myself "US" that keep "fiddling" with "all these buttons" do know what what we are down and have some idea of what we should be seeing at different stages of charging.
I also believe he bought the panel for more reasons than just not having to tilt. He should be running number 4 and from the one peek that I had at the combiner box it could have some serious voltage drop.
We know that it's important to be on the heavy side with the wire but from looking at a several peoples wiring and batteries, proper connections and bottle necks are ignored and a stack up of losses happens.
It's all fun and in the end friend one and I would help him redo the whole thing if he wants to. AFTER steering him away from go power of course. OMG, I do sound like handybob!!! ;)
