we have 3 100 watt renogy solar panels wired in a series getting 53 volts at charge controller with 4.5 amps in. the amp output is 12 volts and only 10 amps wheres the other 4.5 amps ? we have 250 amp hour battery hooked up in the system according to the charge controller specs the amp out is in conjunction to the indifference in the actual battery status. another words it will only put out a certain amount of amps according to how dead the batteries are. when are batteries are completely dead the charge controller only puts out 10.5 amps not what I think should be 15 amps.

Hello Peggy,
Which charge controller are you using with these solar panels?

we are using your renogy tracer mppt40cc. it is actually only a double amp output. so it would be 9 not 10 amp output. you would think it should be triple amp output. the other problem, where we live in full sun at the exact angle there is no way we can even get close to the 5.6 specified amp output with all three hooked up. 18 is max on volts. the first solar panel got 20.5 volts by itself. we then got another panel same thing 20 volts 5.5 amps. both were hooked up in parrellal and we got almost 11 amp in to and out of cc. got 3rd panel hooked it up in a series. our panels are situated on a homemade wooden rotating pedestal that I made out of trailer house junk(the pedestal withstands 60 mile an hour wind gusts). they are mounted side by side is that PART of my max amp output problem, the angle of the sun side by side. I follow the suns movement as it moves threw the sky. ive been monitoring the amp output every couple of hours every day and nothing has changed.
