Hello,
I am new to solar, I have just plugged each of my new 160 watt flexi panels into my Victron 100/50 mppt - in direct sunlight.
I am not sure if I am missing something, perhaps it is because the battery is already charged, but the app states that the panels are making 40 watts (each) I have only one connected at a time.
Which is 25% of the stated power output.
Could the MPPT be throttling the power somehow?
Should the 40W figure demonstrate what the panels are making, irrespective of battery state?
Next plan is to just check with a multimeter.
Thanks all.
