Hi, Thank you plonkster and ghatikar for the information and clarity, I'll hopefully get this setup sorted this week I'll keep you posted Namguy

One more question - what should the specifications of the MPPT controller be? Should I keep to 50A or go higher? Thank you

Hi Plonkster, Thank you for the reply, having more clarity on it now, understand that I need a proper meter for monitoring soc and ampere - will get on that asap. You also confirm that PWM is part of my problem, already talk to supplier to replace with MPPT Will keep you posted Attached is label of the panels Once again thank you

Both use volt readings

Hi, I get the readings from the charge controller and inverter after a full day of charging and up until now never pass 75%, isn't it suppose to charge to 100% at least in a full day of sun with nothing drawing power or is my expectations to high or is there something out with my setup maybe?

Hi all, New to forum and solar Thanks for reading my post, i’m having problem to get my batteries fully charge – 69 to 73% is all and this is a 3 week old system, maybe i’m missing something or my setup is not correct I've even did not draw / use any power for 2 day's from the system to see if that would help but only got it to 75% charge The electrician helping with installation confirmed all connections is correct, but could not assist further During the day there is nothing drawing power, put inverter off during daytime, sytem is curentlly only used for 7x house lights during night – all bulbs change to LED 11/18 W - the idea is to slowly add My system: 6x 300W panels Series/Parallel connect 24V – spec’s Vmpp 18V, Impp 16.67A, Isc 17.83A, Voc 22V 6x 200AH 12V 25C Gel Batteries, Series /Parallel 24V SAKO SC2450 PWM 50A / 24V Charge controller – DC out 15A - Auto settings Bat low – 21.1V, Low back – 23.9V, Bat high – 28.9V, Bat high back - 27.2V, Bat float – 27.0V, Bat Vast – 27.8V, max current 50Amp SNK 3000W pure sine inverter I suspect my charge controller maybe not be up to the job - i was under the impression it was a MPPT controller until i check the web site of the Manufacturer and found out it was a PWM controller I live in Namibia, 5/6 hours direct sun on panels, any input will be appreciated Thank you,
