Homemade grid tie inverter system
Grid tie inverter.
Having a issue with two panels. Not getting any volts under load?
Help! Missing out on 300 watts of free power.
Also if you ar...
The inverter's input must be shorted. Did you measure the Isc (Short Circuit current) of the Panel? If Amps from panel are good then, problem is definitly the inverter. When shorting out the panel or measuring Isc (Max current), the panel's voltage will be Zero!

MPPT VS PWM SOLAR CONTROLLERS
Demonstration of an MPPT controller vs PWM controller - Power increase .
I agree something doesnt add up... I agree with what top meter is reading between both chargers, on MPPT current is lower but voltage is higher and Watts is basicly the same from the PV panel. Something not right with bottom display.

On the Kill-A-Watt meter V.A. is Volt Amps, P.F. is Power Factor. The fluxuations you see is mostly the inaccuracies of the meter itself. Its still a good tool though I have and use one too. As far as your theory of using the power inverter 12V at 10 Amps and converting to 120V at 1 Amp... Assumi...
