Energie Mobile Solar panel performance

[geekoman]

Hi All,

We have five 200W panels on our boat, feeding 1200Ahr of LiFePo4 batteries, charged through a Victron MTTP 150/85 charger.

When monitoring the wattage produced by the panels, via the MTTP, we are getting a maximum of 450 W during the past several bright sunny days.

The panels were installed by the previous owner, and procured from Energie Mobile. The panels are HP12-200, and are just under 3 years old.

We reviewed the voltage coming from each panel, and they were within 0.1V. We have not done any current tests yet.

I have let the batteries get down to less than 50% to ensure they are hungry for power and not limiting input.

Should I expect more from these panels? Anyone have Energie Mobile systems on board with similar, or better results?

Thanks!
