Morning,
I have just installed a second battery and a 100W solar panel kit. All went well with no disasters so I am rather pleased about that.
However I am a bit confused by the output the solar controller is showing on the LCD.
The controller tells me it is working as it should be. However when I connect the EHU the controller sees an increase in battery voltage as you should expect I think.
However when I look at the PV output now the voltage of this has also increased in-line with the batteries. My question is should this be the case I would have thought the reading for the PV output should not increase as a result of connecting to EHU. ?
When not connected to the charger the PV output and battery Voltages seem to the same, which is also a bit odd I think?
I have two batteries connected in parallel, all connections are spread across both batteries for example the battery charger connects to the positive on one battery and the negative on the other.
Any ideas / comments would be great
Finally I am pleased I saved myself £500 by doing the PV install myself.
