If you’ve got multiple panels and are looking to squeeze more out of the panels (maybe +30%?) in the future, it might be worth switching to an MPPT solar charge controller (your current one seems to be PWM). Congrats on getting it running.

and it would have been only $8 more to buy the mppt version of the same controller I got... oh well, lessons for next time.
