Off-gridders,

             Checked in on a 13 year old system and something caught my 
eye. Yes, everything is 13 years old.  First off: PVs: 14 (7 strings of 
2 PVs each), Shell 150's, batts: HUP 845 AHR, 48 volt system, MX60 CC.   
So the MX60 was reading (mid day) ~1500 watts or ~27 amps (somewhat low 
for the array but acceptable considering age, soiling, tilt, etc.  
Regardless, Volts "IN" were 58, batt volts were ~53.5.  This info was 
taken from the MX display.

             For PVs that have an MPPT rating of 45.5 volts ( X 2 per 
string = 91V), that 58 volts seems especially low.  Normal?? Possible 
one string is pulling down the rest?  Feedback welcome.
