Have you got another manufacturer's cc you could swap in temporarily?
Do you have a load on the batteries?

Off-gridders,

             Small 24 volt off-grid install.....new installation, 3, 285 
watt PVs in series, 4, L-16's in series, Midnight "Kid" CC.  Problem: I 
cannot get more than about 200 watts (8-9 amps battery side) out of the 
Kid display in full noon sun, clean PVs. Should be 700 watts plus and 
about 28 amps.  Bulk/Absorb set at 29V, battery voltage at ~25 V (pulled 
down with a heat gun).  I changed that Kid out for another new one> Same 
issue!  I disconnected the PV wires where they land in the Kid and got 
9.3 amps short circuit, 105 volts oc  Called Midnight tech support but 
we couldn't come up with a good solution.  Ideas?

Thx,

Bill
