    I drilled matching holes to the panel's pre-drilled holes and secured with nuts and bolts

    I went ahead and built my own stands because I live in a complex and can't just attach them to the roof. These panels are fully portable and now that I know they work, I'll attaching them with a hinge so that I can collapse them onto each other at night and have one big solar panel that...

    And there we have it :D I was actually telling @cfvh600 last week that I was thinking of geting the 100/20 victron smartsolar

    I just figured out why yours is charging so much faster than mine. Your inverted is set at 20A whereas mine is at 10A since I have AGM batteries.

    I'm typing like my backside today. I thought I said "another 2"

    I would have to connect another in parallel then since my panels are 22V (and yes 100W) and the controller is rated at max 50V

    Tell you what, if I go ahead and get a new one, you can have this one and perform an autopsy :)

    So when there's no load, the charge controller reads 40-42V at the solar point and the batter read 27.2V When on load, the charge controller goes down to about 26V at the solar point and the same at the battery

    No setting whatsoever. I literally have 2 lights on the back. A green blinking light that tells me it's charging (whether the panels are connected or not, so no help). And a red fault light that I assume comes on when it's broken. I have no other way of telling what it does and I think that's...

    Took a reading now. Solar is sitting at 39.3V (but will climb a bit more during the day)

    I can't tell you exactly on each battery since I would need to open the cabinet, but if I take a reading from the back of the inverter terminals I get 27.1V EDIT: Sorry my short term memory is failing. Double checked now and it's 27.2V

    I ran 200W give or take for the 2 hours on it and the inverter had the 75% light on (which to my understanding means it's between 75-100% charged)

    Currently, it was at 38.1V but I'm assuming the panels aren't warmed up all the way yet (but peaked at 42.2V yesterday) but the mains are also on. As soon as I turned the mains off now, the charge controller started and decreased the volts till it got to 25.9V

    @Grouter what charge controller do you have? Mine brings the volts down to 25.8V. Can it also be that I can only charge at 10A since I have AGM batteries?
