I’ve been on hold with customer support for too long, so maybe one of my solar-savvy readers can tell me why my two 200W panels are putting out plenty of volts but no amps.

I can't. But is you go to the free Escapee's RV forum someone will. Lots of qualified people there. https://www.rvnetwork.com

water line equivalent is plenty of pressure but no flow. Some wire is not connected to complete the electrical circuit.
ReplyDeleteHappy to try and help only moderate expertise. If you are getting voltage from the panels I would be then looking at the charge controller and battery. I think I remember that you just got lithium. They almost all have a bms that will prevent changing if they don't think you need it which would look like voltage but no amps
ReplyDeleteAt the risk of stating the obvious, there is an open circuit that is not letting current flow. If you put an ammeter across where you check that voltage does it register current?
ReplyDeleteI've used two different multimeters to check everywhere from the panels to the controller to the battery. No amps. The charge controller is giving me an error code for over-discharged battery, but it's at full charge. I'm beginning to think my controller and BMS are feuding. Or my solar panels have fried.
Delete> plenty of volts but no amps.
ReplyDeleteWith an MPPT controller Vpanel near Voc typically means the controller is limiting currrent on purpose. Late absorption, float, transition to float, etc.
