I am paying for not getting those Poplar cut this year. I watch one of my mppt controllers pounding out 79-80 amps until about 1pm then by 1:30 as a little shade from the low angle of the sun in combination with the tree tops drops my output down to 20 or lower.
As best I can estimate, between the two MPPT controllers I am losing at least 2kwh a day. These MPPT appear to struggle more with partial shading than do my PWM controllers. I will have those trees cut by next winter, that should gain me a couple kwh a day more (when the sun co-operates). IF I make the jump to 24 volts next year and better utilize my 30 volt panels that should gain me roughly another 2kwh a day this time of year, so together I may gain as much as 4kwh a day. That will be sweet if so.
