  1. After reading the inverter manual, it states that it has a MPPT 60A Solar charger, so I'm guessing the 30% down does not apply?
  2. Please excuse the noob questions, I just want to understand the system installed
  3. So correct me if I am wrong but from what plonkster is saying the inverters will also calculate max charge current based on the batteries installed? The plan was to eventually install 8 more batteries after a while, so could this increase charge current from panels once installed?
  4. No they do not have a heatsink, so by "30% down" you mean the inverters shave 30% of whatever my panels are generating?
  5. No it does not, should be MS inverter... link to website http://www.mppsolar.com/v3/pip-ms-series/
  6. Hi guys, Wish I found this platform before I installed the system I have at home. But anyways... Quick background on my system: - I have 2 5kvA MS inverters running in parallel mode - 16 300w Solar panels (4800w capacity in total) - 8 180A/h batteries and all necessary accessories pulling these together. My issue is that my Solar panels are not generating half the power I expect them to generate At midday in full sunlight the max input to my inverters is 2.5Kw from my panels. This is about 50% of the Solar panels' capacity. Is this expected or may I have faulty equipment. Look forward to some expert advice
