This is the, Forum Admin, News & Member Account Info, thread. There's no mystery here as to why I posted. I had an unresolvable problem with the site I thought the admins should know about.

I believe the short answer to that is, no. A charge controller is what you're missing. This is a merchant that sells their own MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) charge controller. Good 'splainer at...
