Not a 100% sure is 300 watts my max

Can you measure the amps you are getting from existing panels and make a judgement from that?

A 120 wat panel will not give you 10 amps as its rated output (if you manage to achieve that) will be at an output voltage of around 16 volts. So this panel is likely to give a maximum of 7.5 amps.

On that basis, your 25 amp controller should be able to handle around 400 watts of panels.

Good idea denisl

I get about 10 amps per hour when the batterys need it or if the sun allows it , the highest the display readout has been is 12 amps in the UK.

This is a new controller so Im still getting used to it

Thankyou denisl
