Our “old” solar system has been in place for 15+ years, and I am still learning new things about it as time goes by. This is not helped by the lack of documentation and information on the system.
It’s seems previous owners just assumed it just worked.

In recent days with some cloudy weather, and increasing load on both the old and new solar systems, we have had only a small amount of power left in battery storage in the mornings.
Time to do something about that…
