The 18V and 5.6A wasn't from my panels. In your previous post you stated, "12V panels" operate at a Vmp of 17V-19V..." I assumed you were talking about a standard 100W glass panel, so I used 18V to...

Thanks for your input.

Under actual testing, I'm seeing 385W.

Here's my calculations...assuming a standard 100W panel at 18V will produce 5.6A (5 panels x 5.6A = 28A)...in actual testing by...

From the faq section on the Bogart Engineering website. (I use both the TM-2030 and SC-2030.)

And the experiment begins…

I added 500 watts of BougeRV CIGS adhesive panels to the front cap of our Micro Minnie. These combined with the 400 watts of hard panels on the roof give us a theoretical 900 watts of solar, more on...
