    PV voltage too low to charge

    More info—I figured out the wiring. All 6 panels are wired in series. I should see about 120v. Today is reasonably sunny. I’m measuring 50v at the MPPT which is what it is reporting. Went on the roof & disconnected the panels from the MPPT. 50v. Then I disconnect all the panels & measured...
