Well it works on an overcast day like today it was just showing 3.9a but of course the battery is full from driving, voltage shows 14.3 on the digital meter and if I flick the dual direction relay on it's sending charge to the van battery too.... I'm hoping if it does blow it will just pop the 7.5 amp fuse and I'll order a beefier controller come payday I've never seen mine put out more than a few amps. I was considering adding another 100w to the 100w I already have based on this though technically the controller should limit my panels to 150w total. I think I'll wait and see if yours goes up in flames first. π Your controller can handle 200 watts anyway.

I might be cross remembering when I had a 150w panel.

Guess we'll find out..... I've put a 7.5 amp fuse in line before the controller..... maybe I'll go on eBay and get a 15a one or something, I doubt I'll blow it before midsummer? Certainly not this weekend I hope. God almighty what are you thinking having the roof look like that?
