[QUOTE="condor22, post: 651343, member: 1932"] Spent an hour checking the Hardkorr panels this arvo, in parallel, time around 3pm, a lot of cloud, with occasional sun. When the sun was behind heavy cloud the output hovered between 5-6 amps. When the cloud was less but still covering the sun output was 10-11 amps. When the sun was out I noted 15.2 amps Given the rating of 8.33 for 16.66 in parallel 15.2 at this time of year and time of day is as good as I would expect output to be. Most days I'll get full charge to the batteries. But on heavy overcast rainy days I might get around half of my use replaced, which from lithium will give about a week before I need to find another charge method. It's very rare to get crappy weather for that long in VIC and SA. Should add, the SOC of the batteries was 91% (200Ah) and only one LED light bank of 3 lights as load. [/QUOTE]
