Update on my solar panel upgrade/load test. First, I was happy with the new panels production. I was expecting over 4KW per day and maxed out at 5.4KW. After adding the living room load to the garage system, I could not produce enough solar power to keep up with the load. After 5 days, some sunny some cloudy, the new panels produced about 20KW and the battery bank went from 100% to 60%. Was short about 2KW per day. Plan to add 4 panels on my shed. That should be enough.
