Hi,

So I took this screen capture from the app yesterday - cloudy, sun filtered thru the trees at an angle. What is it showing me me ? Good ? Bad ?

The build sheet says I have two 330W panels and a 50amp MPPT Controller from Jaboni (FS-SF100-50).

How much power should I be expecting to flow to the battery (1 lousy AGM for now, 2 bigger LFP soonish) ?

Thanks !

I honestly don’t know, but here’s a screen shot of mine. This is on sunny morning, so a lower sun angle but clear skies. This is after hooking up at storage, turning on the batts/solar and operating the front legs and then a little into a short drive to get it washed.

I’ve got the exact same solar setup. Except 2 100ah lithium batts.

Ok, 75W vs 3W. That's pretty significant. Unfortunately at this time of year here in southern NH the sun never rises above the trees surrounding the side of the yard where the camper is parked so (hopefully!) that is the reason behind the low wattage.
 
Well, the pv voltage is pretty similar and where it should be for 660w of solar.

The output power may be substantially less because your batteries are topped off. Mine were possibly not fully charged since it had been sitting at storage and I operated the front legs twice since last it was fully charged.
