Sunmagic Solar Panels

Featured Replies

Good day

I recently installed 6 * 480w Sunmagic Solar panels. Its currently producing around at most 1kwh at peak sun times. The average volts is around 170v and rarley reaches 200v.

Please advise if this is what is expected.

Can you trust something with the name magic? 

Voltage seems low you would need to test amps with a dc clamp meter. 1 bad panel in a series string can drastically lower power output

How are they wired up to the inverter (How many panels per mppt?)?

Are they wired in parallel or in series?

What Inverter (make and model) are they wired to? 

They are wired to a Luxpower SNA 5kva with 6 panels in series

With the current sun you should be getting around 2300W if you have enough load on and battery is discharged. 

Current production.
