I unplugged the MH from 50a service and let the batteries drain 10-15%. The next morning the panels began charging real well with 8-9.5 amps. That is about the best I can get with 760 watts on panels and getting 84 volts. Today I added 3 additional AGM batteries. I know have 7 for about 700 amp hours capacity.

I have a question. During this discussion I mentioned my panels are wired in series to keep the amps within the 10awg wire and to allow for adding a few more panels later if needed. It was suggested I change to a series/parallel structure to get the amps closer to 30. I was wondering why? My controller seems to handle any volts or amps(within reason) and outputs 12 Volts to the batteries. Am I missing something?

Thanks for all the suggestions.
