Title: Classic with odd IN voltage
Post by: Nashville on December 08, 2012, 08:08:44 PM
It's dark outside, yet my Classic shows 44 volts IN. My Battery voltage is around 54. Why would I see voltage here in darkness? My panel voltage is about 110 volts in series.

That voltage comes from an input bias from the battery side.  It is normal.

My 150 @ 24 volts always shows 10+ volts on the input.

As boB says, its normal.
